From 4f42f80a8f08d4c3f52c4267361241885d5dee3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Czerner Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:40:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: use s_extent_max_zeroout_kb value as number of kb Currently when converting extent to initialized, we have to decide whether to zeroout part/all of the uninitialized extent in order to avoid extent tree growing rapidly. The decision is made by comparing the size of the extent with the configurable value s_extent_max_zeroout_kb which is in kibibytes units. However when converting it to number of blocks we currently use it as it was in bytes. This is obviously bug and it will result in ext4 _never_ zeroout extents, but rather always split and convert parts to initialized while leaving the rest uninitialized in default setting. Fix this by using s_extent_max_zeroout_kb as kibibytes.
