[PATCH v4 11/23] iomap: correct the range of a partial dirty clear

From: Zhang Yi

Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 03:40:36 EST


From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

The block range calculation in ifs_clear_range_dirty() is incorrect when
partially clearing a range in a folio. We cannot clear the dirty bit of
the first block or the last block if the start or end offset is not
blocksize-aligned. This has not yet caused any issues since we always
clear a whole folio in iomap_writeback_folio().

Fix this by rounding up the first block to blocksize alignment, and
calculate the last block by rounding down (using truncation). Correct
the nr_blks calculation accordingly.

Changes:
- Use round_up() instead of DIV_ROUND_UP() to prevent wasted integer
division.
