(style) the original code is actually correct. ec_start is not a boolean, so comparing it == 0 is actually the right thing to do.

This is not a valid assumption.

So, this assumes that the entire unmapped extent is described by the first page, but doesn't actually check whether all of the pages exist. For the purpose of cp it might be OK, since at worst it means that cp will be reading from a hole in the source file. However, I wonder if other applications will depend on the allocated extent being more accurate?

Eric had also suggested pagevec_lookup_tag(), which is already exported.
