[PATCH 2/5] ext3-get-blocks: multiple block allocation

From: Mingming Cao
Date: Tue Jan 10 2006 - 18:25:24 EST



Main part the multiple block allocation patch. This patch added support for multiple
block allocation in ext3-get-blocks(): looked up the disk block mapping and count
the total number of blocks to allocate, then pass it to ext3_new_block(),
where the real block allocation is performed. Once multiple blocks are
allocated, prepare the branch with those just allocated blocks info and
finally splice the whole branch into the block mapping tree.
