From 308488518dfcbe3be250085cd582f5b0c1ce72a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allison Henderson Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 07:41:32 -0400 Subject: ext4: add new function ext4_block_zero_page_range() This patch modifies the existing ext4_block_truncate_page() function which was used by the truncate code path, and which zeroes out block unaligned data, by adding a new length parameter, and renames it to ext4_block_zero_page_rage(). This function can now be used to zero out the head of a block, the tail of a block, or the middle of a block. The ext4_block_truncate_page() function is now a wrapper to ext4_block_zero_page_range().
