Hmm.. Why are these exported ?

Looking at the code


EXPORT_SYMBOL(ext4_ext_invalidate_cache);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ext4_ext_insert_extent);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ext4_ext_walk_space);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ext4_ext_find_goal);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ext4_ext_calc_credits_for_insert);

Mingming ? Why are we exporting these ?

Thanks,
Badari
