Hello Ted/Harshad,
I think we did discuss this once before, but I am unable to recollect the exact
reasoning for this. So question is - why do we have to call ext4_ext_clear_bb()
from ext4_fc_replay_inode()?
I was just thinking if this is suboptimal and if it can be optimized. But before
working on that problem, I wanted to again understand the right reasoning behind
choosing this approach in the first place.
Could you please help with this again?
ext4_fc_replay_inode()
<..>
inode = ext4_iget(sb, ino, EXT4_IGET_NORMAL);
if (!IS_ERR(inode)) {
ext4_ext_clear_bb(inode);
iput(inode);
}
<..>
I will document it this time, so that I don't have to keep coming to this
everytime I look into fc replay code.
Thanks again for your help!!
