[PATCH 05/12] ext4: Remove unnecessary wait for extent conversion in ext4_fallocate()

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

 



Now that we don't merge uninitialized extents anymore, ext4_fallocate()
is free to operate on the inode while there are still some extent
conversions pending - it won't disturb them in any way.
