Subject: Re: [Ext4 punch hole 1/6 v5] Ext4 Punch Hole Support: Add flag to ext4_has_free_blocks
Hi Allison,
Sorry for the late response.
I find it hard to digest yet another set of flags,
especially, since there is already an impressive set of
flags for allocation hints, which is what USE_ROOTBLKS flag really is.
So I think it would be much better to pass the flag in ext4_allocation_request
and add the 'ar' argument to functions that don't have it, rather than adding
a 'flags' argument.
If you do create a patch to pass 'ar' down to has_free_blocks()
I will also be able to use it to pass the HINT_COWING flag.
Now here is another advise:
In ext4_mb_new_blocks() after ext4_claim_free_blocks(), there is a call to
dquot_alloc_block().
You need to call dquot_alloc_block_nofail() when allocating for punch hole,
otherwise punch hole can fail on quota limits.
We already have a patch for doing that with HINT_COWING flag.
I think maybe it is best if our groups (punch hole and snapshots) have
a mutual 'next'
repository we can work with to prepare for the 2.6.40 merge window.
It would be even better, if Ted also collaborated his big alloc patches.
What do you think guys?
Amir.
