From 33ad5d54284adf110f6e78aa9c4f42d3d17d7f68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:02:29 -0500 Subject: GFS2: Only increase rs_sizehint If an application does a sequence of (1) big write, (2) little write we don't necessarily want to reset the size hint based on the smaller size. The fact that they did any big writes implies they may do more, and therefore we should try to allocate bigger block reservations, even if the last few were small writes. Therefore this patch changes function gfs2_size_hint so that the size hint can only grow; it cannot shrink. This is especially important where there are multiple writers.
