[ 71/79] ext4: fix error handling in ext4_ext_truncate()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jul 26 2013 - 17:30:08 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit 8acd5e9b1217e58a57124d9e225afa12efeae20d upstream.

Previously ext4_ext_truncate() was ignoring potential error returns
from ext4_es_remove_extent() and ext4_ext_remove_space(). This can
lead to the on-diks extent tree and the extent status tree cache
getting out of sync, which is particuarlly bad, and can lead to file
system corruption and potential data loss.
