This patch adds write support to the uninitialized extents that get
created when a preallocation is done using fallocate(). It takes care of
splitting the extents into multiple (upto three) extents and merging the
new split extents with neighbouring ones, if possible.
Changelog:
---------
1) Replaced BUG_ON with WARN_ON & ext4_error.
2) Added variable names to the function declaration of
ext4_ext_try_to_merge().
3) Updated variable declarations to use multiple-definitions-per-line.
4) "if((a=foo())).." was broken into "a=foo(); if(a).."
5) Removed extra spaces.
Here is the updated patch:
