[PATCH v5 17/18] btrfs: disable defrag on pre-content watched files

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

 



We queue up inodes to be defrag'ed asynchronously, which means we do not
have their original file for readahead.  This means that the code to
skip readahead on pre-content watched files will not run, and we could
potentially read in empty pages.

Handle this corner case by disabling defrag on files that are currently
being watched for pre-content events.
