[PATCH] ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE correctly
It has been reported that ext3_getblk() is not doing the right thing and triggering following WARN(): BUG: warning at fs/ext3/inode.c:1016/ext3_getblk() <c01c5140> ext3_getblk+0x98/0x2a6 <c03b2806> md_wakeup_thread+0x26/0x2a <c01c536d> ext3_bread+0x1f/0x88 <c01cedf9> ext3_quota_read+0x136/0x1ae <c018b683> v1_read_dqblk+0x61/0xac <c0188f32> dquot_acquire+0xf6/0x107 <c01ceaba> ext3_acquire_dquot+0x46/0x68 <c01897d4> dqget+0x155/0x1e7 <c018a97b> dquot_transfer+0x3e0/0x3e9 <c016fe52> dput+0x23/0x13e <c01c7986> ext3_setattr+0xc3/0x240 <c0120f66> current_fs_time+0x52/0x6a <c017320e> notify_change+0x2bd/0x30d <c0159246> chown_common+0x9c/0xc5 <c02a222c> strncpy_from_user+0x3b/0x68 <c0167fe6> do_path_lookup+0xdf/0x266 <c016841b> __user_walk_fd+0x44/0x5a <c01592b9> sys_chown+0x4a/0x55 <c015a43c> vfs_write+0xe7/0x13c <c01695d4> sys_mkdir+0x1f/0x23 <c0102a97> syscall_call+0x7/0xb Looking at the code, it looks like it's not handle HOLE correctly. It ends up returning -EIO. Here is the patch to fix it. If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1 (we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block. But I really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here. (doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped). ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped. It returns 0 in case of HOLE. ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).
