[PATCH for 2.6.31] ext4: Mark the unwritten buffer_head mapped during write_begin

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

 



This avoid multiple get_block calls during write. Now that we have
unwritten buffer marked as mapped, we need to make sure writepages
will handle unwritten buffer_heads also.

With this patch we have the below:

ext4_ext_get_block returns unmapped, unwritten, buffer head when called with
create = 0 for prealloc space. This make sure we handle the read path and non
delalloc case correctly.  Even though the buffer head is marked unmapped we
have valid b_blocknr and b_bdev values in the buffer_head.

ext4_da_get_block_prep called for block resrevation will now return mapped,
unwritten, new buffer_head for prealloc space. This make sure we don't do
multiple get_block calls for write to same offset. Also marking it new make
sure sub-block zeroing of buffered writes happen correctly.
