Subject: [PATCH 03/49] ext4: Mark the unwritten buffer_head as mapped during write_begin
From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Setting BH_Unwritten buffer_heads as BH_Mapped avoids multiple
(unnecessary) calls to get_block() during the call to the write(2)
system call. Setting BH_Unwritten buffer heads as BH_Mapped requires
that the writepages() functions can handle BH_Unwritten buffer_heads.
After this commit, things work as follows:
ext4_ext_get_block() returns unmapped, unwritten, buffer head when
called with create = 0 for prealloc space. This makes sure we handle
the read path and non-delayed allocation case correctly. Even though
the buffer head is marked unmapped we have valid b_blocknr and b_bdev
values in the buffer_head.
ext4_da_get_block_prep() called for block resrevation will now return
mapped, unwritten, new buffer_head for prealloc space. This avoids
multiple calls to get_block() for write to same offset. By making such
buffers as BH_New, we also assure that sub-block zeroing of buffered
writes happens correctly.
