Message-Id: <1413966550-27404-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:29:10 +0200 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: Ted Tso <tytso@....edu> Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Make ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() return proper number of blocks ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() can return more blocks than are actually allocated from map->m_lblk in case where initial part of the on-disk extent is zeroed out. Luckily this doesn't have serious consequences because the caller currently uses the return value only to unmap metadata buffers. Anyway this is a data corruption/exposure problem waiting to happen so fix it.
