Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is below 3, or a btreeof uint32_t if 3 or above. When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out before because I was unsure why this was causing under populated btree nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue. --- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-common.c | 3 --- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-common.c b/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-common.c index df2494c..ff3beed 100644 --- a/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-common.c +++ b/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-common.c @@ -405,8 +405,6 @@ int sm_ll_insert(struct ll_disk *ll, dm_block_t b, if (r < 0) return r; -#if 0 - /* FIXME: dm_btree_remove doesn't handle this yet */ if (old > 2) { r = dm_btree_remove(&ll->ref_count_info, ll->ref_count_root, @@ -414,7 +412,6 @@ int sm_ll_insert(struct ll_disk *ll, dm_block_t b, if (r) return r; } -#endif } else { __le32 le_rc = cpu_to_le32(ref_count); -- 1.7.5.4 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
