The current implementation of ext4_zero_range() contains complex position calculations and stale error tags. To improve the code's clarity and maintainability, it is essential to clean up the code and improve its readability, this can be achieved by: a) simplifying and renaming variables, making the style the same as ext4_punch_hole(); b) eliminating unnecessary position calculations, writing back all data in data=journal mode, and drop page cache from the original offset to the end, rather than using aligned blocks; c) renaming the stale out_mutex tags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
