From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> For an unshare request, we only have to take action if the data fork has a shared mapping. We don't care if someone else set up a cow operation. If we find nothing in the data fork, return a hole to avoid allocating space. Note that fallocate will replace the delalloc reservation with an unwritten extent anyway, so this has no user-visible effects outside of avoiding unnecessary updates. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
