From: Aneesh Kumar K.V Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 12:09:34 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: Use a fake block number for delayed new buffer_head X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27.25~3 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f0e70fb39944b1345203ab72d4c6117da6bf072a;p=karo-tx-linux.git ext4: Use a fake block number for delayed new buffer_head (cherry picked from commit 33b9817e2ae097c7b8d256e3510ac6c54fc6d9d0) Use a very large unsigned number (~0xffff) as as the fake block number for the delayed new buffer. The VFS should never try to write out this number, but if it does, this will make it obvious.
