Hi Darrick,

Thank you very much for your very detailed review, I will fix them
one by one and send a V2 sooner.

Hi Darrick,

Thanks for your reply, it seems that 64K is a good idea since put 128K
on the stack might cause problems, I will wait for one or two days for
more comments on other parts of the patches, then send a V2 with the
updates.

Well in that case I'll review harder. :)

(Actually I thought of a few more things this morning.)

Let debugfs do sparse copy when src is a sparse file, just like

* For the

   This is from coreutils-8.13/src/ioblksize.h (GPL V3):
/* As of Mar 2009, 32KiB is determined to be the minimium
    blksize to best minimize system call overhead.
    This can be tested with this script with the results
    shown for a 1.7GHz pentium-m with 2GB of 400MHz DDR2 RAM:

Um.... GNU updated this to 64K a couple of years ago:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f=src/ioblksize.h;h=1ae93255e7d0ccf0855208c7ae5888209997bf16;hb=HEAD

Just for laughs I tried it on a T430 with an i5-3320M and 16G of DDR3-1600 RAM:

    1024=3.7 GB/s
    2048=7.1 GB/s
    4096=8.8 GB/s
    8192=14.9 GB/s

67108864=9.3 GB/s
134217728=8.8 GB/s

For that matter, a 2010-era i7-950/DDR3-1066 system showed this:

    1024=3.4 GB/s
    2048=5.6 GB/s
    4096=7.8 GB/s
    8192=9.5 GB/s
   16384=10.8 GB/s
   32768=11.4 GB/s
   65536=11.6 GB/s
  131072=12.2 GB/s

And for good measure, a cruddy old T2300 Core Duo from 2006 spat out this:

    2048=2.1 GB/s
    4096=3.6 GB/s

I suspect you could increase the buffer size to 128K (or possibly even BLKRAGET
size?) without much of a problem...


    for i in $(seq 0 10); do
      size=$((8*1024**3)) #ensure this is big enough
      bs=$((1024*2**$i))
      printf "%7s=" $bs
      dd bs=$bs if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=$(($size/$bs)) 2>&1 |
      sed -n 's/.* \([0-9.]* [GM]B\/s\)/\1/p'
    done

       1024=734 MB/s
       2048=1.3 GB/s
       4096=2.4 GB/s
       8192=3.5 GB/s
      16384=3.9 GB/s
      32768=5.2 GB/s
      65536=5.3 GB/s
     131072=5.5 GB/s
     262144=5.7 GB/s
     524288=5.7 GB/s
    1048576=5.8 GB/s

    Note that this is to minimize system call overhead.
    Other values may be appropriate to minimize file system
    or disk overhead.  For example on my current GNU/Linux system
    the readahead setting is 128KiB which was read using:

    file="."
    device=$(df -P --local "$file" | tail -n1 | cut -d' ' -f1)
    echo $(( $(blockdev --getra $device) * 512 ))

    However there isn't a portable way to get the above.
    In the future we could use the above method if available
    and default to io_blksize() if not.

I think the entire make_holes clause could be lifted out of the inner while and

You could use FIEMAP/FIBMAP or SEEK_DATA or something to efficiently walk the

Well, that's one way to detect a sparse file coming in -- but do we care about
the case of copying in a non-sparse file that contains a lot of zero regions?

Maybe we could add a flag to the 'write' command to force make_holes=1?
