Subject[PATCH 3.12 066/104] ext4: Fix block zeroing when punching holes in indirect block files
Date
From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 77ea2a4ba657a1ad4fb7c64bc5cdce84b8a132b6 upstream.

free_holes_block() passed local variable as a block pointer
to ext4_clear_blocks(). Thus ext4_clear_blocks() zeroed out this local
variable instead of proper place in inode / indirect block. We later
zero out proper place in inode / indirect block but don't dirty the
inode / buffer again which can lead to subtle issues (some changes e.g.
to inode can be lost).
