[PATCH 20/29] xfs: don't bother storing merkle tree blocks for zeroed data blocks

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

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that fsverity tells our merkle tree io functions about what a hash
of a data block full of zeroes looks like, we can use this information
to avoid writing out merkle tree blocks for sparse regions of the file.
For verified gold master images this can save quite a bit of overhead.
