This why you are doing this patchset, right ?
In fact, current kernel code won't create any inline extent for real file to cross page boundary. So kernel itself won't try to call __btrfs_drop_extents() inside inline extent. (Although for symbol link, we can still create such large inline extent, but we won't use __btrfs_drop_extent() in this case). What I'm doing in this patchset is to fix the confusing behavior related to inline extents. From its different behavior between plain and compressed extent to larger than one page inlined extent used in symbol link.
