From d9ba7615bfd8bb06f79c853f9dfff9e93a837941 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Whitehouse Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 08:59:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: Ensure that the inode goal block settings are updated GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the search start position for future block allocations (in fact there are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they are set to identical locations in GFS2). In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free space during block allocation.
