To ensure that all blocks touched by the range [offset, offset + count)
are allocated, we need to calculate the block count from the difference
of the range end (rounded up) and the range start (rounded down).
Before this patch, we just round up the byte count, which may lead to
unaligned ranges not being fully allocated:
$ touch test_file
$ block_size=$(stat -fc '%S' test_file)
$ fallocate -o $((block_size / 2)) -l $block_size test_file
$ xfs_bmap test_file
test_file:
0: [0..7]: 1396264..1396271
1: [8..15]: hole
There should not be a hole there. Instead, the first two blocks should
be fully allocated.
With this patch applied, the result is something like this:
$ touch test_file
$ block_size=$(stat -fc '%S' test_file)
$ fallocate -o $((block_size / 2)) -l $block_size test_file
$ xfs_bmap test_file
test_file:
0: [0..15]: 11024..11039

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
