[PATCH] xfs: create zero range helper to convert existing extents to unwritten

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

 



The zero range mechanism makes multiple xfs_alloc_file_space() calls to
try convert as much of a range as possible to unwritten in the event of
allocation failure. The problem is that the subsequent conversion call
will progress no further than the first preallocate call if the latter
happened to fail, because we have no ability to do extent conversion
without preallocation.

Create a helper to iterate a range of a bmap and convert all existing,
normal extents to unwritten. Call the helper from xfs_zero_file_space()
to accomplish the goal specified above. This allows zero range to put
off preallocation to the final step and thus ensures the range is zero
valued before any significant preallocation is attemped.

Here's a stab at the kind of helper I was referring to in the review
discussion of the zero range rework. This applies on top of v3:

Lightly tested, but I'm throwing some workloads at it now and so far, so
good. Thoughts appreciated.
