ext4: Add support FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for fallocate
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch implements fallocate's FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for Ext4.

1) Make sure that both offset and len are block size aligned.
2) Update the i_size of inode by len bytes.
3) Compute the file's logical block number against offset. If the computed
   block number is not the starting block of the extent, split the extent
   such that the block number is the starting block of the extent.
4) Shift all the extents which are lying between [offset, last allocated extent]
   towards right by len bytes. This step will make a hole of len bytes
   at offset.
