From 272b62c1f0f6f742046e45b50b6fec98860208a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Goldwyn Rodrigues Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 09:44:40 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Treat writes as new when holes span across page boundaries When a hole spans across page boundaries, the next write forces a read of the block. This could end up reading existing garbage data from the disk in ocfs2_map_page_blocks. This leads to non-zero holes. In order to avoid this, mark the writes as new when the holes span across page boundaries.
