Sorry, I think my mail client converted tabs to spaces on the first two patches. Please disregard the first two. This patch adds routines needed to zero out the unblock aligned data of the hole. The existing ext4_block_truncate_page routine that is used to zero out unblock aligned data from truncate has been modified to accept a length parameter, and renamed to ext4_block_zero_page_range. The function can now be used to zero out the head of a block, the tail of a block, or the middle of a block. The existing ext4_block_truncate_page has now become a wrapper to this function Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson <achender@us.ibm.com> --- :100644 100644 3aa0b72... c722e31...
