[PATCH 2/4] ext3: truncate block allocated on a failed ext3_write_begin

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

 



From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For blocksize < pagesize we need to remove blocks that got allocated in
block_write_begin() if we fail with ENOSPC for later blocks.
block_write_begin() internally does this if it allocated page
locally. This makes sure we don't have blocks outside inode.i_size
during ENOSPC.
