Hi,
Sorry, this is a bug. We should zero out two extents [ee_block,
map->m_lblk) and [map->m_lblk + map->m_len, ee_block + ee_len).
Original ext4 code zero out whole extent ex. Could you try to have a
test which zero out whole extent like below.
err = ext4_ext_zeroout(inode,ex);
ext4_ext_zeroout() wait until all zero IOs are finished. Slowness may
come from two ext4_ext_zeroout()s.
BTW: we can optimize ext4_ext_zeroout() by zeroing out pages in page
cache and marking the pages dirty. What's your opinion?
Thank you,
Yongqiang.

So this may not be the best solution yet. But I thought if updated you with what I found we might be able to come up with a better solution.

> At the moment, the test fails because a portion of the test file does not get zeroed out when it should. The punch hole code needs to flush the pages before it punches out any blocks. It uses the filemap_write_and_wait_range routine, which eventually calls ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized. The bug only appears to show up when flushing out the middle of an unwritten extent. The two halves on either side are supposed to get zeroed out or split off, but it looks like one of them was not getting zeroed out. This snippet seems to fix that, but I'm not yet sure why it's so slow.
