Before this patch if you truncated a file to a smaller size it wasn't freeing all the blocks properly. There are two reasons. First, the metapath comparison was not comparing previous heights. I added a function, mp_eq_to_hgt, which checks the metapath at all heights prior to the target height. Second, in function find_nonnull_ptr, it needed to zero out all pointers for heights following the target height. Translated into decimal integer terms, this way a number like 299, when incremented, becomes 300, not 399. The 2 gets incremented to 3, and the following digits need to be reset. These two things allow the truncate state machine to properly find the blocks it needs to delete. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
