owner
.TP
\fB\fIblock\fB\fR
(logical) number of block we are adding
.TP
\fB\fIchain[4]\fB\fR
chain of indirect blocks (with a missing link - see
ext3_alloc_branch)
.TP
\fB\fIwhere\fB\fR
location of missing link
.TP
\fB\fInum\fB\fR
number of blocks we are adding
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function fills the missing link and does all housekeeping needed in
inode (->i_blocks, etc.). In case of success we end up with the full
chain to new block and return 0.
