[PATCH 67/71] xfs: fail ->bmap for reflink inodes

"Darrick J. Wong" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.comp.file-systems.xfs.general
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>

Have xfs_vm_bmap return zero for reflinked files.  This hack prevents
using a file with shared blocks as a swap file, because we don't want
to deal with CoW when we're (probably) low on memory.
