Hi Namjae,
see below:

This line causes a compile error. So the fix would be like that:

-	    (shift > start - ex_end)) {
+	    (shift > start - ex_end))
+		return -EINVAL;
+
+	/* Its safe to start updating extents */
...<snip>...

Apart from that, the whole patchset seems to work without error,
both on xfs and on ext4.
Of course I had to remove Lukas' patches before testing collapse-range.
So it would be excellent if two patch series could get somehow merged.

Tested-by: Dongsu Park <redacted>

Dongsu
