Currently function can_nocow_extent() only returns members needed for extent_map. However since we will soon change the extent_map structure to be more like btrfs_file_extent_item, we want to expose the expected file extent caused by the NOCOW write for future usage. This introduces a new structure, btrfs_file_extent, to be a more memory access friendly representation of btrfs_file_extent_item. And use that structure to expose the expected file extent caused by the NOCOW write. For now there is no user of the new structure yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
