-
- generic_file_write() is only appropriate for filesystems that are not seeking to optimize performance and want
- something simple that works. It is not for serious use by general purpose filesystems, excepting the one that it was
- written for (ext2/3). This is for several reasons:
-
- * It has no understanding of any filesystem specific optimizations.
-
- * It enters the filesystem repeatedly for each page that is written.
-
- * It depends on reiserfs_get_block() function which if implemented by reiserfs performs costly search_by_key
- * operation for each page it is supplied with. By contrast reiserfs_file_write() feeds as much as possible at a time
- * to reiserfs which allows for fewer tree traversals.
-
- * Each indirect pointer insertion takes a lot of cpu, because it involves memory moves inside of blocks.
-
- * Asking the block allocation code for blocks one at a time is slightly less efficient.
-
- All of these reasons for not using only generic file write were understood back when reiserfs was first miscoded to
- use it, but we were in a hurry to make code freeze, and so it couldn't be revised then. This new code should make
- things right finally.
-
- Future Features: providing search_by_key with hints.
