[PATCH 3/5][TAKE8] ext4: fallocate support in ext4

Amit K. Arora
2007-07-13T18:49:56Z

From: Amit Arora <aarora@in.ibm.com>

fallocate support in ext4

This patch implements ->fallocate() inode operation in ext4. With this
patch users of ext4 file systems will be able to use fallocate() system
call for persistent preallocation. Current implementation only supports
preallocation for regular files (directories not supported as of date)
with extent maps. This patch does not support block-mapped files currently.
Only FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes are being supported as of
now.

CHANGELOG:
---------
Following changed from TAKE7:
1. Removed usage of FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes and
used FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE mode flag instead.
2. Included <linux/falloc.h> new header file, which defines above flag.
