Hi Ashish, There have a chance to do a trivial update, and this case will be covered in ext4_ext_remove_space. + if (err == 0 && eh->eh_entries == 0 && path[depth].p_bh != NULL) { err = ext4_ext_rm_idx(handle, inode, path + depth); + /* If this was the first extent index in node, + * propagates the ei_block updation info to top */ + if(!err) { + --depth; + path = path + depth; + while (--depth >= 0) { + if (path->p_idx != EXT_FIRST_INDEX(path->p_hdr)) + break; + path--; + err = ext4_ext_get_access(handle, inode, path); + if (err) + break; trivial update, when (path + 1)->p_idx->eh_entries == 0 + path->p_idx->ei_block =(path + 1)->p_idx->ei_block ; + err = ext4_ext_dirty(handle, inode, path); + if (err) + break; + } + } + } + I will trying to reproduce the problem tomorrow.
