Fallocate(2) Policy
-------------------
The default policy follows the below posix rule.
Allocating disk space
The default operation (i.e., mode is zero) of fallocate() allocates
the disk space within the range specified by offset and len. The
file size (as reported by stat(2)) will be changed if offset+len is
greater than the file size. Any subregion within the range specified
by offset and len that did not contain data before the call will be
initialized to zero. This default behavior closely resembles the
behavior of the posix_fallocate(3) library function, and is intended
as a method of optimally implementing that function.
However, once F2FS receives ioctl(fd, F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE) in prior to
fallocate(fd, DEFAULT_MODE), it allocates on-disk blocks addressess having
zero or random data, which is useful to the below scenario where:
1. create(fd)
2. ioctl(fd, F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE)
3. fallocate(fd, 0, 0, size)
4. address = fibmap(fd, offset)
5. open(blkdev)
6. write(blkdev, address)
