Thanks for carrying on with this work Brian.

I've started to review your patchset and Darrick's fallocate patchset.
I've pushed a branch to linux-dm.git that combines the 2, see:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=dm-fallocate

and then added this RFC patch, at the end, which relies on both of your
patchsets -- you'll see blkdev_ensure_space_exists() has a FIXME which
implies it isn't much more than simply stubbed out at this point
(completely untested):

Subject: [RFC PATCH] block: wire blkdev_fallocate() to block_device_operations' reserve_space

This effectively exposes the primitive for "ensure space exists".  It
relies on block_device_operations' reserve_space method.
