From d018028055a21a28adef16b7f95422c426b46d60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Warren Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:46:16 -0600 Subject: fs: ext4: fix writing zero-length files ext4fs_allocate_blocks() always allocates at least one block for a file. If the file size is zero, this causes total_remaining_blocks to underflow, which then causes an apparent hang while 2^32 blocks are allocated. To solve this, check that total_remaining_blocks is non-zero as part of the loop condition (i.e. before each loop) rather than at the end of the loop.
