Hi!
Here's a patch to fix ETXTBSY races between defrag and exec -- similar to
what was just submitted for dedupe, even to the point of being followed by
a second patch that replaces EINVAL with EPERM.

As defrag is not something you're going to do on files you don't write, I
skipped complex rules and I'm sending the original version of the patch
as-is.  It has stewed in my tree for two years (long story...), tested on
multiple machines.

Attached: a simple tool to fragment a file, by ten O_SYNC rewrites of length
1 at random positions; racey vs concurrent writes or execs but shouldn't
damage the file otherwise.


Meow!
