[RFC PATCH] mark buffer_head mapping preallocate area as new during write_begin with delayed allocation

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

 



We need to mark the  buffer_head mapping prealloc space
as new during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the
page cache content properly for a partial write. This will
cause file corruption with preallocation.
