[PATCH] ext2: zero freed blocks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a zerofree mount option to the ext2 filesystem.  This causes freed
blocks to be filled with zeros.

ext2_zero_blocks has an additional argument to specify whether or not
zeroing is required:  there's no point in zeroing blocks that have
just come from the free list.

Some rerrangement of code in xattr.c is required to ensure that
ext2_zero_blocks is never called with a locked buffer.
