ext4: ext4_split_extent should take care of extent zeroout
When ext4_split_extent_at() ends up doing zeroout & conversion to initialized instead of split & conversion, ext4_split_extent() gets confused and can wrongly mark the extent back as uninitialized resulting in end IO code getting confused from large unwritten extents and may result in data loss. The example of problematic behavior is: lblk len lblk len ext4_split_extent() (ex=[1000,30,uninit], map=[1010,10]) ext4_split_extent_at() (split [1000,30,uninit] at 1020) ext4_ext_insert_extent() -> ENOSPC ext4_ext_zeroout() -> extent [1000,30] is now initialized ext4_split_extent_at() (split [1000,30,init] at 1010, MARK_UNINIT1 | MARK_UNINIT2) -> extent is split and parts marked as uninitialized Fix the problem by rechecking extent type after the first ext4_split_extent_at() returns. None of split_flags can not be applied to initialized extent so this patch also add BUG_ON to prevent similar issues in future.
