[RFC][PATCH] map multiple blocks at a time in mpage_readpages()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I re-did the support for mpage_readpages() to map multiple blocks
at a time (basically, get_blocks()). Instead of adding new
get_blocks() and pass it around, I use "bh->b_size" to indicate
how much of disk mapping we are interested in to get_block().

This way no changes existing interfaces and no new routines need.
Filesystem can choose to ignore the passed in "bh->b_size" value
and map one block at a time (ext2, reiser3, etc..)

Currently, I modified JFS & XFS to make use of it and support
multiple blocks and planning to integrate with Mingming's ext3
multiblock work (which is in -mm). 

Todo:

1) Integrate with Mingming's multiblock get_block() support for ext3.

2) kill .*_get_blocks() added for DIO ?


Comments ?

Thanks,
Badari


This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to
get the disk mapping information for multiple blocks at the 
same time. 

Instead of adding new get_blocks() and pass it around every
where, I overload b_size of bufferhead to pass in how much
disk mapping we are requesting. Only the filesystems who
care to use this information and provide multiple disk
blocks at a time can choose to do so. 

No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.
