[PATCH 3.13 038/259] ext4: Fix hole punching for files with indirect blocks

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri Aug 08 2014 - 16:49:22 EST


3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit a93cd4cf86466caa49cfe64607bea7f0bde3f916 upstream.

Hole punching code for files with indirect blocks wrongly computed
number of blocks which need to be cleared when traversing the indirect
block tree. That could result in punching more blocks than actually
requested and thus effectively cause a data loss. For example:

fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096

will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -
10244096. Fix the calculation.
