From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@xxxxxxxxxx> We always assume that the return value of ext4_ext_map_blocks is equal to map->m_len but when we try to convert an unwritten extent 'm_len' value will break this assumption. It is harmless until we use status tree as a extent cache because we need to update status tree according to 'm_len' value. Meanwhile this commit marks EXT4_MAP_MAPPED flag after unwritten extent conversion. It shouldn't cause a bug because we update status tree according to checking EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN flag. But it should be fixed. After applied this commit, the following error message from self-testing infrastructure disappears. ... kernel: ES len assertation failed for inode: 230 retval 1 != map->m_len 3 in ext4_map_blocks (allocation) ...
