[PATCH 35/49] ext4: Clean up ext4_get_blocks() so it does not depend on bh_result->b_state

From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Mon Jun 08 2009 - 15:28:09 EST


The ext4_get_blocks() function was depending on the value of
bh_result->b_state as an input parameter to decide whether or not
update the delalloc accounting statistics by calling
ext4_da_update_reserve_space(). We now use a separate flag,
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_UPDATE_RESERVE_SPACE, to requests this update, so that
all callers of ext4_get_blocks() can clear map_bh.b_state before
calling ext4_get_blocks() without worrying about any consistency
issues.
