Hi all,

Looking at the flags in the extent info,  Is there any specifc flags
which indicates an extent to be a HOLE??

I could only find the following ones...

  39#define FIEMAP_MAX_OFFSET       (~0ULL)
  40
  41#define FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC        0x00000001 /* sync file data before map */
  42#define FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR       0x00000002 /* map extended attribute tree */
  43
  44#define FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT     (FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC | FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR)
  45
  46#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST              0x00000001 /* Last extent
in file. */
  47#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN           0x00000002 /* Data
location unknown. */
  48#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_DELALLOC          0x00000004 /* Location
still pending.
  49                                                    * Sets
EXTENT_UNKNOWN. */
  50#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED           0x00000008 /* Data can not be read
  51                                                    * while fs is
unmounted */
  52#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_ENCRYPTED    0x00000080 /* Data is
encrypted by fs.
  53                                                    * Sets
EXTENT_NO_BYPASS. */
  54#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED       0x00000100 /* Extent
offsets may not be
  55                                                    * block aligned. */
  56#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_INLINE       0x00000200 /* Data mixed
with metadata.
  57                                                    * Sets
EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED.*/
  58#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_TAIL         0x00000400 /* Multiple
files in block.
  59                                                    * Sets
EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED.*/
  60#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNWRITTEN         0x00000800 /* Space allocated, but
  61                                                    * no data
(i.e. zero). */
  62#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED            0x00001000 /* File does not natively
  63                                                    * support
extents. Result
  64                                                    * merged for
efficiency. */
