Cool, the e4defrag built with those patches seems to work fine. The
check function (-c) on my root partition reported a fragmentation score
of zero (I guess it must be an average) but did find a number of
fragmented files, eg

<Fragmented files>                             now/best       size/ext
1. /var/log/pm-powersave.log                     8/1              4 KB
Total/best extents                              8/1
 Average size per extent                        4 KB
 Fragmentation score                            98
 [0-30 no problem: 31-55 a little bit fragmented: 56- needs defrag]

Running e4defrag on this file resulted in:

<File>                                         now/best       size/ext
/var/log/pm-powersave.log                        1/1             32 KB
 Total/best extents                             1/1
 Average size per extent                        32 KB
 Fragmentation score                            0
 [0-30 no problem: 31-55 a little bit fragmented: 56- needs defrag]

If I run it on a directory, it reports a number of 'successes' and
'failures'. I suspect the failures are for files that are locked
(wpa_supplicant was one such file), ie not all files can be defragged
online.

The "relevant files defrag" always reports a 100% failure rate for some
reason.
