    ocfs2: teach extend/truncate about sparse files · 3a0782d0
    Mark Fasheh authored
    For ocfs2_truncate_file(), we eliminate the "simple" truncate case which no
    longer exists since i_size is not tied to i_clusters. In
    ocfs2_extend_file(), we skip the allocation / page zeroing code for file
    systems which understand sparse files.
    
    The core truncate code is changed to do a bottom up tree traversal. This
    gets abstracted out into it's own function. To make things more readable,
    most of the special case handling for in-inode extents from
    ocfs2_do_truncate() is also removed.
    
    Though write support for sparse files comes in a later patch, we at least
    update ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write() to skip allocation for sparse files.
