I am not very familiar with this code, but I think that we should be using "<= EXT4_EXT_ZERO_LEN" here instead of "< EXT4_EXT_ZERO_LEN". 1) The other comparisons with EXT4_EXT_ZERO_LEN use "<=". 2) On the first side of the if else statement we do: if (allocated <= EXT4_EXT_ZERO_LEN ... split_map.m_len = allocated; On this side, it would match to do: if (map->m_lblk - ee_block + map->m_len <= EXT4_EXT_ZERO_LEN ... split_map.m_len = map->m_lblk - ee_block + map->m_len; It's not the most air tight of arguments, so I've submitted this with a big warning message.
