Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v2] ext4: punching hole improvement

Hi all, 

In this patch set, punching hole feature is improved.  The improvements are as
below.
 - add block-based file punching hole support
 - add tracepoint in punching hole

In patch 1, it introduces punching hole feature for block-based file.

In patch 2, we check FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag firstly in ext4_fallocate to
fully enable punching hole feature for extent-based file and block-based file.

In patch 3, a tracepoint is added in ext4_punch_hole.

Any comments or feedbacks are appreciated.  Thanks!

v2 <- v1:
 * Rework patch 1.  Now it looks very simple and straightforward.

BTW, after applying this patch set, xfstest #255 will not pass w/o extent
because block-based file doesn't support unwritten extents.

Regards,
						- Zheng
