Yeah, I think we could add a REQ_UNSHARE bit (similar to REQ_NOUNMAP) to pass down the intent to the backing file (and possibly beyond...).

I took a stab at implementing it as a follow up patch so that there's less review churn on the current series. If it looks good, I can add it to the end of the series (or incorporate this into the existing block and loop patches):

Subject: [PATCH] block: Pass unshare intent via REQ_OP_PROVISION

Allow REQ_OP_PROVISION to pass in an extra REQ_UNSHARE bit to
annotate unshare requests to underlying layers. Layers that support
FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE will be able to use this as an indicator of which
fallocate() mode to use.

It looks like a reasonable addition to the end of the series, assuming
that filling holes in thinp devices is cheap but unsharing snapshot
blocks is not.

This is a provisioning flag, shouldn't this be ...
BLKDEV_PROVISION_UNSHARE or something?

You might want to do something about the six level indent here;
Linus hates that.

Thanks for pointing it out, I switched it up a bit in v8 but it still
looks a bit weird to me.
