There was a vfs inode operation (allthough no fs implemented it) which
was removed after the introduction of punch hole.
void (*truncate_range)(struct inode *, loff_t, loff_t);
We took the idea from this and named the ioctl truncate_block_range.

We are using this feature on our PVR devices, when working on streams
which primarily indicates that individual frames can be broken, In
such cases Application tool helps in selecting the offset for say 'an
advertisiment(garbage data)" to be removed, the tool will decode the
offset for that part in movie.
these offsets works as the range for our IOCTL implementaion.
Also, this is true that movie data will not align exaclt to the FS
block boundary i.e., why there is a dependency on the USER tool -
which sort of marks the area and maps to the file offset.
our points was for optimizing the edit operation by utilizing the FS layout.
Also, similar to punch hole/fallocate features which are targetted
towards application specific scenario. These IOCTL also open up a
channel which can be best utilized for media editing(this is one
particular case because we have used with greater advantage and is a
value addition)

Thanks!
