[PATCHv7 5/6] iomap: Allocate iop in ->write_begin() early

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

 



We dont need to allocate an iop in ->write_begin() for writes where the
position and length completely overlap with the given folio.
Therefore, such cases are skipped.

Currently when the folio is uptodate, we only allocate iop at writeback
time (in iomap_writepage_map()). This is ok until now, but when we are
going to add support for per-block dirty state bitmap in iop, this
could cause some performance degradation. The reason is that if we don't
allocate iop during ->write_begin(), then we will never mark the
necessary dirty bits in ->write_end() call. And we will have to mark all
the bits as dirty at the writeback time, that could cause the same write
amplification and performance problems as it is now.
