There is a big gap between inode_should_defrag() and autodefrag extent size threshold. For inode_should_defrag() it has a flexible @small_write value. For compressed extent is 16K, and for non-compressed extent it's 64K. However for autodefrag extent size threshold, it's always fixed to the default value (256K). This means, the following write sequence will trigger autodefrag to defrag ranges which didn't trigger autodefrag: pwrite 0 8k sync pwrite 8k 128K sync The latter 128K write will also be considered as a defrag target (if other conditions are met). While only that 8K write is really triggering autodefrag. Such behavior can cause extra IO for autodefrag. Close the gap, by copying the @small_write value into inode_defrag, so that later autodefrag can use the same @small_write value which triggered autodefrag. With the existing transid value, this allows autodefrag really to scan the ranges which triggered autodefrag. Although this behavior change is mostly reducing the extent_thresh value for autodefrag, I believe in the future we should allow users to specify the autodefrag extent threshold through mount options, but that's an other problem to consider in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
