[PATCH] ext4: Return the length of a hole from get_block

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, if ext4's get_block encounters a hole, it does not modify the
buffer_head.  That's fine for many callers, but for DAX, it's useful to
know how large the hole is.  XFS already returns the length of the hole,
so this improvement should not confuse any callers.
