[PATCH 4.9 069/153] ext4: do not polute the extents cache while shifting extents

Show all headers | View raw

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roman Pen <roman.penyaev@profitbricks.com>

commit 03e916fa8b5577d85471452a3d0c5738aa658dae upstream.

Inside ext4_ext_shift_extents() function ext4_find_extent() is called
without EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag, which should prevent cache population.

This leads to oudated offsets in the extents tree and wrong blocks
afterwards.

Patch fixes the problem providing EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag for each
ext4_find_extents() call inside ext4_ext_shift_extents function.
