Ocfs2 devel - Sep 2014 - [PATCH 0/7 v2] ocfs2: allocate blocks in direct I/O write

Hi all,

Currently in case of O_DIRECT append write (block not allocated yet),
ocfs2 will fall back to buffered I/O. This has some disadvantages.
Firstly, it is not the behavior as expected. Secondly, it will consume
huge page cache, e.g. in mass backup scenario. Thirdly, modern
filesystems such as ext4 support this feature.

In this patch set, the direct I/O write doesn't fallback to buffer I/O
write any more because the allocate blocks are enabled in direct I/O now.

This patch set can be applied against 3.17-rc6 branch of ocfs2 directly.

Please consider, Thanks.
