Ext4 contains a few functions that are used to search for delayed extents or blocks in the extents status tree. Rather than duplicate code to add new functions to search for extents with different status values, such as written or a combination of delayed and unwritten, generalize the existing code to search for caller-specified extents status values. Also, move this code into extents_status.c where it is better associated with the data structures it operates upon, and where it can be more readily used to implement new extents status tree functions that might want a broader scope for i_es_lock. Three missing static specifiers in RFC version of patch reported and fixed by Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
