ext4: fix BUG_ON() in ext4_ext_insert_extent()
Does not corrispond with a direct commit in Linus's tree as it was fixed differently in the 3.0 release. We will meet with a BUG_ON() if following script is run. mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 /dev/sdb1 1000000 mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 fallocate -l 100M /mnt/sdb1/test sync for((i=0;i<170;i++)) do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/test conv=notrunc bs=256k count=1 seek=`expr $i \* 2` done umount /mnt/sdb1 mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/test conv=notrunc bs=256k count=1 seek=341 umount /mnt/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/test conv=notrunc bs=256k count=1 seek=340 sync The reason is that it forgot to mark dirty when splitting two extents in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(). Althrough ex has been updated in memory, it is not dirtied both in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() and ext4_ext_insert_extent(). The disk layout is corrupted. Then it will meet with a BUG_ON() when writting at the start of that extent again.
