@Ashish
   I have modified the patch with your suggestion, could you help to review.

@Ted
   I wrote a script to verify this problem.
   This script needs tst_extents and fallocate executables from e2fsprogs, and
fallocate needs your patch with bug fix to do hole punch.

   Steps to run the script
1) assign variable blkdev to path of block device that filesystem mount on
2) cd to mount point
3) run script

Thanks,
Forrest

Hi Ted,
   Your patch for fallocate is no problem, my mistake. Sorry~

Just FWIW, upstream fallocate in util-linux can punch holes already.

Usage:
 fallocate [options] <filename>

Options:
 -n, --keep-size     don't modify the length of the file
 -p, --punch-hole    punch holes in the file
...
