Good day, please review ... thanks, Alex basic delayed allocation in VFS: * block_prepare_write() can be passed special ->get_block() which doesn't allocate blocks, but reserve them and mark bh delayed * a filesystem can use mpage_da_writepages() with other ->get_block() which doesn't defer allocation. mpage_da_writepages() finds all non-allocated blocks and try to allocate them with minimal calls to ->get_block(), then submit IO using __mpage_writepage()
