Subject: vfs: add a FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE mode to fallocate to unshare a range of blocks
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=71be6b4942dd64bc17728f82f787be98fd8afed7;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

vfs: add a FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE mode to fallocate to unshare a range of blocks

Add a new fallocate mode flag that explicitly unshares blocks on
filesystems that support such features.  The new flag can only
be used with an allocate-mode fallocate call.
