Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater
 than 0

Hi. Eric.

This is the patch for punch hole issue.

Thanks.

2012/6/14, Ashish Sangwan <ashishsangwan2@...il.com>:
> The current implementation of hole punch uses the same code path as for
> truncate in which the block removal starts from the end of the file and
> continue backwards removing extents and in the process decreases the
> count of valid entries in the extent header of extent index.
> If all the extents under current extent index are removed than this index
> is also removed and the number of valid entries in the "depth -1"
> extent header is decreased by 1.
>
> Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return value
> of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions:
> a) if there are no more indexes to process.
> b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1".
>
> In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of the
> last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the number of
> valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will remain as it is and
> ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the required blocks are not
> yet removed.

> This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing the
> extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from the
> particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required and
> continue backward until done.
