    ext4: support simple conversion of extent-mapped inodes to use i_blocks · 996bb9fd
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    In order to make it simpler to test the code which support
    i_blocks/indirect-mapped inodes, support the conversion of inodes
    which are less than 12 blocks and which are contained in no more than
    a single extent.
    
    The primary intended use of this code is to converting freshly created
    zero-length files and empty directories.
    
    Note that the version of chattr in e2fsprogs 1.42.7 and earlier has a
    check that prevents the clearing of the extent flag.  A simple patch
    which allows "chattr -e <file>" to work will be checked into the
    e2fsprogs git repository.
