3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zheng Liu [ Upstream commit 3a2256702e47f68f921dfad41b1764d05c572329 ] This commit fixes a wrong return value of the number of the allocated blocks in ext4_split_extent. When the length of blocks we want to allocate is greater than the length of the current extent, we return a wrong number. Let's see what happens in the following case when we call ext4_split_extent(). map: [48, 72] ex: [32, 64, u] 'ex' will be split into two parts: ex1: [32, 47, u] ex2: [48, 64, w] 'map->m_len' is returned from this function, and the value is 24. But the real length is 16. So it should be fixed. Meanwhile in this commit we use right length of the allocated blocks when get_reserved_cluster_alloc in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents is called.
