Hi,

We'd better implement SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE based on FIEMAP,  thus,
code will be much maintainable.   You can have a look at btrfs's
implementation.

There is another important problem here.  This function operates on
pages heavily to collect delayed extents,  as Jan Kara pointed out we
should lock a page before we use the page.  Now the problem comes,
the function is called with i_mutex_lock held, so we can not lock
page, otherwise, deadlock is easy to happen.   To address the problem,
we have two solutions: 1. doing as filemap, releasing i_mutex_block
before calling this function, 2. collecting delayed extent info in an
in-memory extent tree, I am working on it.  The question regarding the
2nd solution is if it is worth adding an in-memory extent tree.
bigalloc has similar problem with delayed extent.

You can have a look at fiemap using delayed extent tree via
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/112233/.   It is very simple.

Thx!
Yongqiang.
