This patch adds routines needed to zero out the unblock aligned data of the hole. The existing ext4_block_truncate_page routine that is used to zero out unblock aligned data from truncate has been modified to accept a length parameter, and renamed to ext4_block_zero_page_range. The function can now be used to zero out the head of a block, the tail of a block, or the middle of a block. The existing ext4_block_truncate_page has now become a wrapper to this function Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson <achender@xxxxxxxxxx> --- :100644 100644 5639fdf... 45136d8...
