Subject: [PATCH 0/4] fs: Provide function to unmap metadata for a range of blocks

Hello,

I've noticed that in several places we need to unmap metadata in buffer cache
for a range of blocks and we do it by iterating over all blocks in given
range. Let's provide a helper function for that and implement it in a way
more efficient for larger ranges or blocks. The patches passed xfstests
for ext2 and ext4.

Jens, can you merge these patches if they look fine to you?
