3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@xxxxxxxxx> commit ce37c42919608e96ade3748fe23c3062a0a966c5 upstream. Commit 3779473246 breaks the return of error codes from ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). A portion of the patch assigns that function's signed integer return value to an unsigned int. Consequently, negatively valued error codes are lost and can be treated as a bogus allocated block count.
