2008-10-16ext4: Replace hackish ext4_mb_poll_new_transaction with commit callbackTheodore Ts'o
The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those blocks is committed. Previously this was done via a polling mechanism when blocks are allocated or freed. A much better way of doing things is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks to be freed directly to the transaction structure.

2008-10-16ext4: let the block device know when unused blocks can be discardedTheodore Ts'o
Let the block device know when unused blocks can be discarded, using the new sb_issue_discard() interface. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-16ext4: Use an rbtree for tracking blocks freed during transaction.Aneesh Kumar K.V
With this patch we track the block freed during a transaction using red-black tree. We also make sure contiguous blocks freed are collected in one node in the tree. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-09-23ext4: move /proc setup and teardown out of mballoc.cTheodore Ts'o
...and into the core setup/teardown code in fs/ext4/super.c so that other parts of ext4 can define tuning parameters. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-07-23ext4: Don't allow lg prealloc list to be grow large.Aneesh Kumar K.V
Currently, the locality group prealloc list is freed only when there is a block allocation failure. This can result in large number of entries in the preallocation list making ext4_mb_use_preallocated() expensive. To fix this, we convert the locality group prealloc list to a hash list. The hash index is the order of number of blocks in the prealloc space with a max order of 9. When adding prealloc space to the list we make sure total entries for each order does not exceed 8. If it is more than 8 we discard few entries and make sure the we have only <= 5 entries. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
