Hi Lubos,
thanks for the interesting patch. This does seem like an improvement.
It would be good to add more description to your commit comment, since
it should explain what is actually being done in your patch (e.g. store
the extent count and depth in the ext4_extent_header eh_generation field,
...).
It would also be good to include a matching patch for e2fsprogs debugfs
in the "undelete" command. I think one obstacle is the fact that inodes
have their blocks zeroed out by the kernel during truncation. It would
be necessary to change the kernel slightly to avoid writing out i_blocks
with zero if the inode is being deleted. Otherwise, this change is not
as useful as it could be.
Cheers, Andreas
