3.11.10.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@xxxxxxxxx>
commit c06344939422bbd032ac967223a7863de57496b5 upstream.
Commit 9cb00419fa, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file
systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff51e in an earlier
release. When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068,
075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors
or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks
are being freed again.
The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in
ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent
supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the
leaf node (as is still done when truncating). However, the code in
rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on
extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the
last node in the leaf. Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly
initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a
punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.
