From 471d4011a9862efff02094388b8fe8cd67683c38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suparna Bhattacharya Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:21:06 -0700 Subject: [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.
