+Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: batch calls to ext2fs_zero_blocks2()
+
+When allocating blocks for an indirect block mapped file, accumulate
+blocks to be zero'ed and then call ext2fs_zero_blocks2() to zero them
+in large chunks instead of block by block.
+
+This significantly speeds up mkfs.ext3 since we don't send a large
+number of ZERO_RANGE requests to the kernel, and while the kernel does
+batch write requests, it is not batching ZERO_RANGE requests.  It's
+more efficient to batch in userspace in any case, since it avoids
+unnecessary system calls.
