[PATCH v3 2/7] hfsplus: rework hfsplus_get_block() logic

From: Viacheslav Dubeyko

Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 17:20:26 EST


Split the extent-lookup/allocate logic out of hfsplus_get_block() into
a new hfsplus_map_extent(), which reports the mapping as
(dblock, max_blocks, balloc) instead of filling in a buffer_head.
hfsplus_get_block() becomes a thin wrapper around it for the
buffer_head-based callers (B-tree metadata, symlinks).

No functional change to the existing buffer_head path. This is
preparation for the iomap-based regular file I/O path added in a
later patch, which will call hfsplus_map_extent() directly.
