From 71780577306fd1e76c7a92e3b308db624d03adb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:06:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix hueristic which avoids group preallocation for closed files The hueristic was designed to avoid using locality group preallocation when writing the last segment of a closed file. Fix it by move setting size to the maximum of size and isize until after we check whether size == isize.
