Sorry, I think it's may not correct. When replaying the jouranl, although
we don't use the extent statue tree, we still need to query the accurate
hole length, e.g. please see skip_hole(). If you do this, the hole length
becomes incorrect, right?

Thanks,
Yi.

Thank you for your review (and sorry for my delay replying).

So, I see three different options to follow your suggestion:

1) Initialize 'es' immediately when declaring it in function
ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole():

es.es_lblk = es.es_len = es.es_pblk = 0;

2) Initialize 'es' only in ext4_es_find_extent_range() when checking if an
fc replay is in progress (my patch was already doing something like
that):

if (EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT4_FC_REPLAY) {
/* Initialize extent to zero */
es->es_lblk = es->es_len = es->es_pblk = 0;
return;
}

3) Remove the check for fc replay in function ext4_es_find_extent_range(),
which will then unconditionally call __es_find_extent_range(). This
will effectively also initialize the 'es' fields to '0' and, because
__es_tree_search() will return NULL (at least in generic/039 test!),
nothing else will be done.

Since all these 3 options seem to have the same result, I believe option
1) is probably the best as it initializes the structure shortly after it's
declaration. Would you agree? Or did I misunderstood you?

Both 1 and 2 are looks fine to me, but I would prefer to initialize it
unconditionally in ext4_es_find_extent_range().

Thank you, Yi. I'll send out v2 shortly. Although, to be fair, the real
patch author shouldn't be me. :-)
