Btrfs: fix data allocation hint start
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Sometimes our start allocation hint when we cow a file can be either
EXTENT_HOLE or some other such place holder, which is not optimal.  So if we
find that our em->block_start is one of these special values, check to see
where the first block of the inode is stored, and use that as a hint.  If that
block is also a special value, just fallback on a hint of 0 and let the
allocator figure out a good place to put the data.
