Until now, I have fixed the bigalloc bug that is reported by xfstest
#230, and merged Hugh's patch.  But I do really think that this patch
set couldn't be applied at this merge window because the change is not
*minor*, and it still needs to do more tests.  That would be great if
you can keep this patch set in dev branch at this merge window.  Thanks!

The dev branch is the set of patches that are planned to go to Linus
during the next merge window, so if we drop it from the merge window,
I would drop it from the dev branch and put it in the "unstable"
portion of the patch series.

It would be a shame to drop it since this provides the SEEK_HOLE
capability, though.  Can you say more about which change is not minor?
The change to fix the bigalloc bug?   Or the whole patch series?

Hi Ted,

When I try to fix the bigalloc bug, some code that operates on extent
status tree and  maintains its status are changed when I do some
changes in ext4_find_delalloc_range().  So that quite has a lot of
changes I thought in the whole patch series.  So I think that we'd
better drop this patch set from dev branch.  Thanks.

Regards,
Zheng
