Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains work to try and cleanup some the fallocate mode handling.
Currently, it confusingly mixes operation modes and an optional flag.
The work here tries to better define operation modes and optional flags
allowing the core and filesystem code to use switch statements to switch
on the operation mode.
/* Testing */
gcc version 14.2.0 (Debian 14.2.0-3)
Debian clang version 16.0.6 (27+b1)
All patches are based on v6.11-rc4 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed.
