- * to store can use b-tree. And it only needs to implement its ocfs2_extent_tree
- * and operation.
- *
- * ocfs2_extent_tree contains info for the root of the b-tree, it must have a
- * root ocfs2_extent_list and a root_bh so that they can be used in the b-tree
- * functions.
- * ocfs2_extent_tree_operations abstract the normal operations we do for
