[PATCH 2/2] ext4: Fix mmap data corruption when blocksize < pagesize

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

 



Use block_create_hole() when hole is being created in a file so that
->page_mkwrite() will get called for the partial tail page if it is
mmaped (see the first patch in the series for details).
