[PATCH v2 0/5] fat: additions to support fat_fallocate

[Namjae Jeon]

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com>

This patch set provides support for doing fallocate operation
on FAT filesystem.
After series of review for the the feature
The complete functionality is broken down into smaller subsets.

v2:
 - remove a stary unlock(from Dan Carpenter)
 - check ->mmu_private and ->i_disksize to truncate uninitialized data.

Namjae Jeon (5):
 fat: add i_disksize to represent uninitialized size
 fat: add fat_fallocate operation
 fat: zero out seek range on _fat_get_block
 fat: fallback to buffered write in case of fallocatded region on direct IO
 fat: permit to return phy block number by fibmap in fallocated region

Let's add document about FAT's fallocate() behavior to
Documents/filesystem/vfat.txt.

I.e. it will be truncated evict_inode(). So, user has to assume
fallocate() is only valid until last close(), and user has to re-call
fallocate() after re-open to make sure fallocate() region.

Right. I will update vfat document.

Thanks for review.
