[PATCH RFC 8/8] ext4: Add a per-file provision override xattr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sarthak Kukreti <sarthakkukreti@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Adds a per-file provision override that allows select files to
override the per-mount setting for provisioning blocks on allocation.

This acts as a mechanism to allow mounts using provision to
replicate the current behavior for fallocate() and only preserve
space at the filesystem level.
