[PATCH] vfs: Export do_fallocate() to kernel modules

From: Thieu Le
Date: Tue Aug 23 2011 - 17:48:19 EST


Export do_fallocate() so layered file systems such as ecryptfs can take
advantage of this interface. Existing interfaces to the fallocate
facilities require a file descriptor which is not available to layered
file systems.
