I've updated the bigalloc patch set to fix a number of bugs that I and
a colleague of mine at Google have found.
This patch set known have problems with i_blocks getting out of sync
if delalloc is enabled (particularly with sparse files and truncates),
and as mentioned before, doesn't work correctly with the punch ioctl.
These are bugs that we plan to fix before anything gets pushed into
upstream, of course.
