2010-01-01ext4: Calculate metadata requirements more accuratelyTheodore Ts'o
In the past, ext4_calc_metadata_amount(), and its sub-functions ext4_ext_calc_metadata_amount() and ext4_indirect_calc_metadata_amount() badly over-estimated the number of metadata blocks that might be required for delayed allocation blocks. This didn't matter as much when functions which managed the reserved metadata blocks were more aggressive about dropping reserved metadata blocks as delayed allocation blocks were written, but unfortunately they were too aggressive. This was fixed in commit 0637c6f, but as a result the over-estimation by ext4_calc_metadata_amount() would lead to reserving 2-3 times the number of pending delayed allocation blocks as potentially required metadata blocks. So if there are 1 megabytes of blocks which have been not yet been allocation, up to 3 megabytes of space would get reserved out of the user's quota and from the file system free space pool until all of the inode's data blocks have been allocated. This commit addresses this problem by much more accurately estimating the number of metadata blocks that will be required. It will still somewhat over-estimate the number of blocks needed, since it must make a worst case estimate not knowing which physical blocks will be needed, but it is much more accurate than before.

2009-09-28ext4: Split uninitialized extents for direct I/OMingming Cao
When writing into an unitialized extent via direct I/O, and the direct I/O doesn't exactly cover the unitialized extent, split the extent into uninitialized and initialized extents before submitting the I/O. This avoids needing to deal with an ENOSPC error in the end_io callback that gets used for direct I/O. When the IO is complete, the written extent will be marked as initialized.

2009-09-17ext4: replace MAX_DEFRAG_SIZE with EXT_MAX_BLOCKEric Sandeen
There's no reason to redefine the maximum allowable offset in an extent-based file just for defrag; EXT_MAX_BLOCK already does this. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-09-18ext4: Show unwritten extent flag in ext4_ext_show_leaf()Mingming
ext4_ext_show_leaf() will display the leaf extents when extent debugging is enabled. Printing out the unwritten bit is useful for debugging unwritten extent, allow us to see the unwritten extents vs written extents, after the unwritten extents are splitted or converted.

2009-06-17ext4: online defrag -- Add EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctlAkira Fujita
The EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT exchanges the blocks between orig_fd and donor_fd, and then write the file data of orig_fd to donor_fd. ext4_mext_move_extent() is the main fucntion of ext4 online defrag, and this patch includes all functions related to ext4 online defrag.

2008-08-19ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for extent file writepageMingming Cao
This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit calculation for extent files, to use the credits caculation helper function. The current calculation of how many index/leaf blocks should be accounted is too conservetive, it always considered the worse case, where the tree level is 5, and in the case of multiple chunk allocations, it always assumed no blocks were dirtied in common across the allocations. This path uses the accurate depth of the inode with some extras to calculate the index blocks, and also less conservative in the case of multiple allocation accounting.

2008-07-14ext4: delayed allocation ENOSPC handlingMingming Cao
This patch does block reservation for delayed allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time. Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin() time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of reserved blocks is store in per inode counter. At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released. Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> to fix the oldallocator block reservation accounting with delalloc, added lock to guard the counters and also fix the reservation for meta blocks.
