Hi David,

I updated the above testcase to use fallocate() and ran it on the
ext4 (with the fallocate patches applied).
It threw following message on console :

# ./a.out 2000 /home/test/mnt/testfile

This is coming from:
fs/buffer.c
   1628		if (block > last_block) {
   1629			..........
   ...			.........
   1639		} else if (!buffer_mapped(bh) && buffer_dirty(bh)) {
=> 1640			WARN_ON(bh->b_size != blocksize);
   1641			err = get_block(inode, block, bh, 1);
   1642			..........
   ...			.........
   1649		}

Thus, I think in ext4 also we may need to have ->page_mkwrite
implemented.

I came across a patch you had submitted couple of months back which
implemented a generic block_page_mkwrite() function, to which any file
system could hook easily. Here is the link:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/18/198

Any idea when is it going to be in the mainline ? Not sure if it is
already part of some -mm kernel, but I did not find it in 2.6.21.
Or, since there was a talk of ->fault() replacing ->page_mkwrite() the
patch is not in the pipeline now ?

And, how does XFS behave now if we write to mmapped preallocated blocks,
since XFS also doesn't have ->page_mkwrite() implemented as of date ?

Thanks!
