From 29ec9bed2395061350249ae356fb300dd82a78e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Yi yi.zhang@huawei.com Date: Tue, 6 May 2025 09:20:07 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix incorrect punch max_end
For the extents based inodes, the maxbytes should be sb->s_maxbytes instead of sbi->s_bitmap_maxbytes. Additionally, for the calculation of max_end, the -sb->s_blocksize operation is necessary only for indirect-block based inodes. Correct the maxbytes and max_end value to correct the behavior of punch hole.
