ext4: add punching hole support for non-extent-mapped files
This patch add supports for indirect file support punching hole. It is almost the same as ext4_ext_punch_hole. First, we invalidate all pages between this hole, and then we try to deallocate all blocks of this hole. A recursive function is used to handle deallocation of blocks. In this function, it iterates over the entries in inode's i_blocks or indirect blocks, and try to free the block for each one of them. After applying this patch, xfstest #255 will not pass w/o extent because indirect-based file doesn't support unwritten extents. Signed-off-by:Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@taobao.com> Signed-off-by:
