1 ext4: fix end of leaf partial cluster handling
3 From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@gmail.com>
5 The fix in commit ad6599ab3ac9 ("ext4: fix premature freeing of
6 partial clusters split across leaf blocks"), intended to avoid
7 dereferencing an invalid extent pointer when determining whether a
8 partial cluster should be freed, wasn't quite good enough.  Assure that
9 at least one extent remains at the start of the leaf once the hole has
10 been punched.  Otherwise, the pointer to the extent to the right of the
11 hole will be invalid and a partial cluster will be incorrectly freed.
13 Set partial_cluster to 0 when we can tell we've hit the left edge of
14 the punched region within the leaf.  This prevents incorrect freeing
15 of a partial cluster when ext4_ext_rm_leaf is called one last time
16 during extent tree traversal after the punched region has been removed.
18 Adjust comments to reflect code changes and a correction.  Remove a bit
19 of dead code.
