    xfs: new inode extent list lookup helpers · 93533c78
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    xfs_iext_lookup_extent looks up a single extent at the passed in offset,
    and returns the extent covering the area, or the one behind it in case
    of a hole, as well as the index of the returned extent in arguments,
    as well as a simple bool as return value that is set to false if no
    extent could be found because the offset is behind EOF.  It is a simpler
    replacement for xfs_bmap_search_extent that leaves looking up the rarely
    needed previous extent to the caller and has a nicer calling convention.
    
    xfs_iext_get_extent is a helper for iterating over the extent list,
    it takes an extent index as input, and returns the extent at that index
    in it's expanded form in an argument if it exists.  The actual return
    value is a bool whether the index is valid or not.
