From: Suparna Bhattacharya Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 08:21:06 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] ext4: uninitialised extent handling X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=471d4011a9862efff02094388b8fe8cd67683c38;p=linux-beck.git [PATCH] ext4: uninitialised extent handling Make it possible to add file preallocation support in future as an RO_COMPAT feature by recognizing uninitialized extents as holes and limiting extent length to keep the top bit of ee_len free for marking uninitialized extents.
