Good day, please review ... thanks, Alex basic delayed allocation in VFS: * block_prepare_write() can be passed special ->get_block() which doesn't allocate blocks, but reserve them and mark bh delayed * a filesystem can use mpage_da_writepages() with other ->get_block() which doesn't defer allocation. mpage_da_writepages() finds all non-allocated blocks and try to allocate them with minimal calls to ->get_block(), then submit IO using __mpage_writepage()

Can we mark related patch as [ PATCH 1/2 ] so that we know that another patch is going to follow. -aneesh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
