Subject: ext4: Issue the discard operation *before* releasing the blocks to be reused
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b90f687018e6d6c77d981b09203780f7001407e5;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

ext4: Issue the discard operation *before* releasing the blocks to be reused

Otherwise, we can end up having data corruption because the blocks
could get reused and then discarded!
