No surprise, really. As it is, your previous ZERO_RANGE additions
caused problems for XFS, and those are mostly fixed in the 6 patch
series I sent before LSFMM. Hence I wouldn't be surprised if that's
what you are seeing (on XFs, at least) and it's not actually
COLLAPSE_RANGE that is causing problems...
Cheers,
Dave.
