Thanks, Acked. This is not a problem for now, as the default window size is 8 blocks, and we never shrink the window size. But it could be a issue in the future, if the reservation window could be dynamically shrink, when it keep failing to create a new(large) reservation window, or we keep throw away a just-allocated-window as the application is doing very seeky random write. > fs/ext2/balloc.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > --- 2.6.19-rc6-mm2/fs/ext2/balloc.c 2006-11-24 08:18:02.000000000 +0000 > +++ linux/fs/ext2/balloc.c 2006-11-27 19:28:41.000000000 +0000 > @@ -950,7 +950,7 @@ retry: > * check if the first free block is within the > * free space we just reserved > */ > - if (start_block >= my_rsv->rsv_start && start_block < my_rsv->rsv_end) > + if (start_block >= my_rsv->rsv_start && start_block <= my_rsv->rsv_end) > return 0; /* success */ > /* > * if the first free bit we found is out of the reservable space - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
