[PATCH] xfs: probe data buffer from page cache for unwritten extents

[Jeff Liu]

Hello,

Sorry for delay this work for a long time!

This is the going on patch to make xfs_seek_data() a bit more efficient by looking up page cache for unwritten extents.
I have tested it against xfstests 285/286, it works to me.

Thanks,
-Jeff
