ext3: Fix sub-block zeroing for writes into preallocated extents From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated 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. Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid buffer_head blocknr so that unmap_underlying_metadata unmap the right block.
