Subject: ext4: remove unnecessary wait for extent conversion in ext4_fallocate()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de99fcce1da7933a90198b80a2e896754ea3bdc8;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: remove unnecessary wait for extent conversion in ext4_fallocate()

Now that we don't merge uninitialized extents anymore,
ext4_fallocate() is free to operate on the inode while there are still
some extent conversions pending - it won't disturb them in any way.
