From 225c5161b11838f34464cd1f421b232dbae3b6a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 16:35:45 +0200 Subject: ext2: Unmap metadata when zeroing blocks When zeroing blocks for DAX allocations, we also have to unmap aliases in the block device mappings. Otherwise writeback can overwrite zeros with stale data from block device page cache.
