similar to: [PATCH] ocfs2: Access and dirty the buffer_head in mark_written.

The old extent merging code down underneath "ocfs2_mark_extent_written()" can't merge extents between leaf blocks. This patch resolve this. So that a large unwritten extent which has been split up with a bunch of writes can be merged together once all unwritten regions have been written to. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Add more comments for some functions which is more complicated

Hi all, So I have finally finished the v3 of reflink for ocfs2. The biggest change is that we support 64bit cluster offset now(Thank Mark and Joel for it).

The following series of patches attempts to detach metadata I/O from struct inode. They are currently tied together pretty tightly. Metadata reads happen via the ocfs2_read_blocks() functions, writes via both jbd2 and ocfs2_write_blocks(). - Each inode has a cache of associated metadata blocks stored on its ip_metadata_cache member. The ocfs2_read/write_blocks() functions take a struct

Hi all, So I have finally finished the v1 of reflink for ocfs2. It has some bugs that I am still investigating, but the schema is almost there. So I'd like to send it out first for review. And Tristan and I will continue to work on the stability of the code. The general information for reflink, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/Reflink.

Hi all, Change from v1 to v2: bug fix and metadata/credits reservation improvement. The general information for reflink, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/Reflink.

Hi Stephen, I found a bug in JBD routine journal_create() in kernel 2.6, when I debug the OCFS v2 driver. mark_buffer_dirty() reports buffer_head is not uptodate. See following bug description. ------------------------------------------------------- OS: Linux Kernel 2.6.1 Plarform: IA32 Steps: 1. Build the ocfs v2 driver under kernel 2.6. 2. insert ocfs2.ko into kernel 2.6. 3. mkfs.ocfs2 -F

The following series of patches comprises the bulk of our outstanding changes for Ocfs2. Aside from the usual set of cleanups and fixes that were inappropriate for 2.6.25, there are a few highlights: The '/sys/o2cb' directory has been moved to '/sys/fs/o2cb'. The new location meshes better with modern sysfs layout. A symbolic link has been placed in the old location so as to

In ocfs2_add_branch, we use the rightmost rec of the leaf extent block to generate the e_cpos for the new added branch. In the most case, it is OK but if there is a gap between the the root(or branch) 's rightmost rec and the leaf, it will cause kernel panic if we insert some clusters in it. The message is something like: (7445,1):ocfs2_insert_at_leaf:3775 ERROR: bug expression:

Hi Mark/Joel, I meet with some meta allocation bugs when I implement reflink these days. And after some investigation, I think we should have the same problem when we have PAGE_SIZE > CLUSTER_SIZE. So I create a scenario today in one ppc box and try. the box panic as I expected. ;) The scenario is that: Create a file with the disk layout like this(with bs=512, and cs=4K). debugfs: stat
