ext4: fix punch hole on files with indirect mapping
Currently punch hole code on files with direct/indirect mapping has some problems which may lead to a data loss. For example (from Jan Kara): fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096 will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 - 10244096. Also the code is a bit weird and it's not using infrastructure provided by indirect.c, but rather creating it's own way. This patch fixes the issues as well as making the operation to run 4 times faster from my testing (punching out 60GB file). It uses similar approach used in ext4_ind_truncate() which takes advantage of ext4_free_branches() function. Also rename the ext4_free_hole_blocks() to something more sensible, like the equivalent we have for extent mapped files. Call it ext4_ind_remove_space(). This has been tested mostly with fsx and some xfstests which are testing punch hole but does not require unwritten extents which are not supported with direct/indirect mapping. Not problems showed up even with 1024k block size. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
