We can send ext4 fallocate patches (incremental patches against mm tree) and drop the full fallocate patches(ext4 and non ext4 part) from ext4 patch queue if you prefer this way. > And try to get the code finished?

Ted, can you merge those patches to your git tree? Thanks! Thanks for your patience. Mingming.
