    generic block based fiemap implementation · 68c9d702

    Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own
    fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own
    get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map
    multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that
    only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each
    block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data
    after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon
    as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will
    not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the
    comments of the function anyway just in case.
