From 33b9817e2ae097c7b8d256e3510ac6c54fc6d9d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 14:40:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Use a fake block number for delayed new buffer_head 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.
