[PATCH 3/3] block: implement (some of) fallocate for block devices

From: Darrick J. Wong
Date: Fri Mar 04 2016 - 19:57:01 EST


After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been
whitelisted for zeroing SCSI UNMAP. Both flags require that
FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE are set, both return EINVAL if one tries
to write past the end of the device, and both require that the
offset and length be aligned at least to 512-byte offsets.q

Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already,
wire up the two pieces. The other fallocate variants (collapse range,
insert range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.
