Subject: [PATCH v3 09/21] xfs: Do not free EOF blocks for forcealign

For when forcealign is enabled, we want the EOF to be aligned as well, so
do not free EOF blocks.

ok, fine

There is no technical reason to not be able to support forcealign on RT,
AFAIK. My idea is to support RT after non-RT is supported.

Could we just include this in the forcealign validate checks? Currently
we just check CoW extsize is zero there.

We check this in xfs_inode_validate_forcealign()

So can we simply have:

static inline bool
xfs_inode_has_forcealign(struct xfs_inode *ip)
{

if (!(ip->di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_EXTSIZE))
return false;
if (ip->i_extsize <= 1)
return false;
return ip->di_flags2 & XFS_DIFLAG2_FORCEALIGN;
}

Thanks,
John

ok

Fine, I can do that if you think it is the best strategy.
