H A Dextents.cdiff d583fb87a3ff0ca50befd2f73f7a67fade1c8c56 Wed May 25 06:41:43 CDT 2011 Allison Henderson <achender@linux.vnet.ibm.com> ext4: punch out extents

This patch modifies the truncate routines to support hole punching
Below is a brief summary of the patches changes:

- Added end param to ext_ext4_rm_leaf
This function has been modified to accept an end parameter
which enables it to punch holes in leafs instead of just
truncating them.

- Implemented the "remove head" case in the ext_remove_blocks routine
This routine is used by ext_ext4_rm_leaf to remove the tail
of an extent during a truncate. The new ext_ext4_rm_leaf
routine will now also use it to remove the head of an extent in the
case that the hole covers a region of blocks at the beginning
of an extent.

- Added "end" param to ext4_ext_remove_space routine
This function has been modified to accept a stop parameter, which
is passed through to ext4_ext_rm_leaf.
