Hi,
I have an inode and I want to preallocate 100 data blocks for that
inode, through a kernel module.
Which function should I invoke inside the kernel to which i intend to
pass (inode no., no. of blocks ), so that it will fill up the inode
with the newly allocated blocks into the inode's block table (i_data
in incore ext2 inode or i_block in ext2 disk inode).
I have both the in-core and on-disk inode with me. So, I can use both.
Remember I wish to do this inside the kernel and not from user space.
Sometime back I read about fallocate, which also had similar
intentions. Any one having any idea ?
