From 69dc9536405213c1d545fcace1fc15c481d00aae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Monakhov Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 18:33:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix incorect journal credits reservation in ext4_zero_range Currently we reserve only 4 blocks but in worst case scenario ext4_zero_partial_blocks() may want to zeroout and convert two non adjacent blocks.
