This patch series implements FITRIM ioctl support in reiser4. The FITRIM ioctl is supposed to be applied to any directory inside the target filesystem. At least, this can be deduced from `fstrim` utility behavior on mainstream filesystems (e. g. ext2/3/4). The idea of implementation is per Edward's advices: FITRIM handler iteratively grabs a portion of disk space, sequentially allocates extents within grabbed space and commits the resulting atom. This way we avoid starving concurrent processes of the disk space. This process is repeated until the partition has been fully scanned and processed. Points I'm really uncertain of: - grabbing fixed amount of space (new BA_SOME_SPACE flag, grabs 25% of disk space) - creation of empty atoms (reiser4_create_atom()) - handling of empty atoms in commit_current_atom() Ivan Shapovalov (7): reiser4: block_alloc: add BA_SOME_SPACE flag for grabbing a fixed amount of space. reiser4: block_alloc: add a "forward" parameter to reiser4_blocknr_hint to allocate blocks only in forward direction. reiser4: txnmgr: free allocated but unneeded atom in atom_begin_and_assign_to_txnh(). reiser4: txnmgr: add reiser4_create_atom() which creates an empty atom without capturing any nodes. reiser4: txnmgr: call reiser4_post_write_back_hook() for empty atoms. reiser4: batch discard support: add a dummy FITRIM ioctl handler for directories. reiser4: batch discard support: actually implement the FITRIM ioctl handler. fs/reiser4/block_alloc.c | 6 ++ fs/reiser4/block_alloc.h | 10 ++- fs/reiser4/plugin/dir/dir.h | 2 + fs/reiser4/plugin/file_ops.c | 62 ++++++++++++++++++ fs/reiser4/plugin/object.c | 6 +- fs/reiser4/plugin/space/bitmap.c | 3 +- fs/reiser4/super_ops.c | 131 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/reiser4/txnmgr.c | 51 ++++++++++----- fs/reiser4/txnmgr.h | 2 + 9 files changed, 252 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) -- 2.0.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
