From e067ba0078cd6f00eb6c4052fec630b78ebe59de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:11:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: make ext4_ext_get_blocks always return <= max_blocks ext4_ext_get_blocks() returns number of blocks allocated with buffer heads unmapped for a read from prealloc space. This is needed so that delayed allocation doesn't do block reservation for prealloc space since the blocks are already resevred on disk. Fix ext4_ext_get_blocks to not return greater than max_blocks, since some of the code paths cannot handle such a return value.
