ext4: refactor punch hole code Move common code in ext4_ind_punch_hole() and ext4_ext_punch_hole() into ext4_punch_hole(). This saves over 150 lines of code. This also fixes a potential bug when the punch_hole() code is racing against indirect-to-extents or extents-to-indirect migation. We are currently using i_mutex to protect against changes to the inode flag; specifically, the append-only, immutable, and extents inode flags. So we need to take i_mutex before deciding whether to use the extents-specific or indirect-specific punch_hole code. Also, there was a missing call to ext4_inode_block_unlocked_dio() in the indirect punch codepath. This was added in commit 02d262dffcf4c to block DIO readers racing against the punch operation in the codepath for extent-mapped inodes, but it was missing for indirect-block mapped inodes. One of the advantages of refactoring the code is that it makes such oversights much less likely. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
