From: Davide Italiano <dccitaliano@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 280227a75b56ab5d35854f3a77ef74a7ad56a203 upstream fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing the inode mutex.
