From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <[email protected]>
(cherry picked from commit 29eaf024980e07cc01f31ae4ea5d68c917f4b7da)
We need to init the complete page during buddy cache init
by setting the contents to '1'. Otherwise we can see the
following errors after doing an online resize of the
filesystem:
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:
Allocating block 1040385 in system zone of 127 group
