What do you mean zeros here?
Some useful data is zeroed?

and the test has been running smooth for about an hour now.
Yongqiang, this one looks like it may have been associated with the
split extents clean up patch.  Would you mind taking a look at this
fix and giving it your ok if it looks good?  Thx!

The logic is that we splits [ee_block, ee_block + ee_len) into
[ee_block, map->m_blk) that is uninitialized and [map->m_blk, ee_block
+ ee_len) that is initialized.   We need to zero [map->m_lblk +
map->m_len, ee_block + ee_len).
and [map->m_lblk, map->m_lblk + map->m_len) is zeroed by upper layer
because of MAP_NEW flag.

Right logic?


I can not see the error and the meaning of ee_len - allocated - map->m_len.

Thanks,
Yongqiang.
