Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2014 15:07:33 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org>, Theodore Tso <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH 3.16 096/125] ext4: fix incorect journal credits reservation in ext4_zero_range 3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org> commit 69dc9536405213c1d545fcace1fc15c481d00aae upstream. Currently we reserve only 4 blocks but in worst case scenario ext4_zero_partial_blocks() may want to zeroout and convert two non adjacent blocks.
