[RFC] ext4: off by one check in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()

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

 



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.
