[PATCH 0/12 v2] ext4: Several simplifications and fixes

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

 



  Hi,

  this patch series contains several simplifications of ext4 code I came across
when thinking how to simplify handling of uninitialized extents. The series has
somewhat grown since last time. I have quite a bit more patches in my tree
(e.g. removing the need for page pointers from ext4_ioend_t so the structure
shrunk a lot, moving of PageWriteback completion after extent conversion, ...)
but they need more work and I'm not sure they will be ready for the next merge
window. But I hope everything in this series should be simple enough so that
it can go in.

The series contains two fixes:
[PATCH 02/12] ext4: Use redirty_page_for_writepage() in ext4_bio_write_page()
and
[PATCH 11/12] ext4: Make ext4_bio_writepage() handle unprepared buffers
[PATCH 12/12] ext4: Fix ext4_writepage() to achieve data=ordered guarantees

The rest are simplifications and cleanups. In total the series removes ~250
LOC.
