Sigh, we HAVE a patch that was only adding delalloc to ext4, but it was rejected because "that functionality should go into the VFS". Since the performance improvement of delalloc is quite large, we'd like to get this into the kernel one way or another. Can we make a decision if the ext4-specific delalloc is acceptable?
I think the latter one is better because it supports bs < pagesize (though I'm not sure about data=ordered yet). I'm not against putting most of the patch into fs/ext4/, but at least few bits to be changed in fs/ - exports in fs/mpage.c and one "if" in __block_write_full_page(). thanks, Alex - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
