Hello, I'm having problems wrapping my head around the purpose of the extent root. It seems we can allocate space from the main root, and the extent objects are inserted into that tree, but we can also make allocations out of the extent root, and the extent objects are inserted into that tree. What is the purpose of the extent tree? The inserts/deletions from the extent tree only happen via del_pending_extents and finish_current_insert, but it seems I end up with extents that are being deleted from the extent_tree and inserted onto the normal root (I'm killing alloc_mutex so I'm getting weird problems). I figure instead of screwing around with the locking until it works its probably best I understand what exactly we're doing with allocations on both trees, and hopefully then I can fix this weirdness. Thank you,
