From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 06:02:29 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: unmap metadata when zeroing blocks X-Git-Tag: v4.7.10~7 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=824bd2f160e042728f02982c29b580d517c40120;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git ext4: unmap metadata when zeroing blocks commit 9b623df614576680cadeaa4d7e0b5884de8f7c17 upstream. When zeroing blocks for DAX allocations, we also have to unmap aliases in the block device mappings. Otherwise writeback can overwrite zeros with stale data from block device page cache.
