OHSM team, I've been taking a look at the Ext4 list.
You should read http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=122880166227883&w=2 I don't know your design well enough to know if those 3 ioctls will make sense for OHSM or not. Getting new userland / kernel ABI interfaces into the kernel can be very difficult, so if you don't think these will work for you I advise you reply to that message. It is only from last month, so the timing is very good. You may feel it is premature, but I really think you need to make your ideas known to Theodore Tso. FYI: Note the end of the msg discusses there being other users than just defrag. Obviously OHSM wants to be one of those other users.
