Subject: [PATCH 08/26] block: fix discard zeroing too little memory
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 10:42:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626084608.1388806-9-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626084608.1388806-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>

Discard ranges are stored as cdev byte ranges, while
writebuffer_io_nblocks() returns a number of logical blocks.

block_cache() mixes these units up when checking whether a cache chunk
falls inside the most recent discard range.

This bug resulted in a cache hit for discarded data zeroing only the
logical block count in bytes. A 16-block chunk cleared 16 bytes instead of
16 logical blocks, leaving stale data in the rest of the cache buffer.

Fixes: e488952b9d ("block: Implement discard_range")
