mainlining shenanigans
05a630d76b
In the data fork, we only allow extents to perform the following state transitions: delay -> real <-> unwritten There's no way to move directly from a delalloc reservation to an /unwritten/ allocated extent. However, for the CoW fork we want to be able to do the following to each extent: delalloc -> unwritten -> written -> remapped to data fork This will help us to avoid a race in the speculative CoW preallocation code between a first thread that is allocating a CoW extent and a second thread that is remapping part of a file after a write. In order to do this, however, we need two things: first, we have to be able to transition from da to unwritten, and second the function that converts between real and unwritten has to be made aware of the cow fork. Do both of those things. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
