From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> We currently use thread local storage for storing blkmap allocations from one inode to another as a way of reducing the number of short term allocations we do. However, the stored allocations can only ever grow, so once we've done a large allocation we never free than memory even if we never need that much memory again. This can occur if we have corrupted extent counts in inodes, and can greatly increase the memory footprint of the repair process. Hence if the cached blkmap array id greater than a reasonable number of extents (say 100,000), then don't store the blkmap in TLS and instead free it.
