Subject: [PATCH 24/52] ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextents
Date: Sat,  5 Jul 2008 13:35:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1215279378-30504-25-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1215279378-30504-24-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu>

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based
files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old
block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned
off when mballoc is turned on.

However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/
non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance
regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation
to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload.

This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation
for non extent files when mballoc is used.
