Hello!

    These three changesets implement reiserfs_file_write. Also third one
    exports generic_osync_inode,block_commit_write and remove_suid
    because these are now needed for reiserfs.
    There was no reiserfs_file_write in the 2.4 port of reiserfs
    (and Hans was very unhappy about it).
    With current 'one block at a time' algorithm, writes past the end of a file
    are slow because each new file block is separately added into the tree
    causing shifting of other items which is CPU expensive.
    With this new implementation if you write into file with big enough chunks,
    it uses half as much CPU. Also this version is more SMP friendly than
    the current one.
    There are some known-bad applications that break with this patch
    (ie. start to work very slow or even hang), particularly
    kmail 3.04 (and earlier?) (consider upgrading to 3.1+).
    If you hit a slowdown problem that you believe is related to
    increased "recommended i/o size", try to mount your fs with
    nolargeio=1 mount option (remount should work too).

    You can pull these from bk://thebsh.namesys.com/bk/reiser3-linux-2.5-reiserfs_file_write

#
# The following is the BitKeeper ChangeSet Log
# --------------------------------------------
# 03/02/26	green@angband.namesys.com	1.1088
# reiserfs: Implement insertion of more than one unformatted pointer insertion at a time. This considerably speedups hole creation.
# --------------------------------------------
# 03/02/26	green@angband.namesys.com	1.1089
# reiserfs: reiserfs_file_write() implemenation. Ported from 2.4.
# 
# This code should considerably speedup file appends in reiserfs,
# given that callers would do than in large chunks. In order
# to iincerease amount of applications that will do I/O in large
# chunks, the "recommended i/o size" st_blksize field in result
# returned by stat() is set to 128k.
# There are some known-bad applications that break in this case
# (ie. start to work very slow or even hang), particularly
# kmail 3.04 (and earlier?) (consider upgrading to 3.1+).
# If you hit a slowdown problem that you believe is related to
# increased "recommended i/o size", try to mount your fs with
# nolargeio=1 mount option (remount should work too).
# Of course in general you should better fix broken apps, not
# disable this useful enchancement.
# --------------------------------------------
# 03/02/26	green@angband.namesys.com	1.1090
# export generic_osync_inode, block_commit_write, remove_suid. These are now used by reiserfs.

+   something simple that works.  It is not for serious use by general purpose filesystems, excepting the one that it was
+   written for (ext2/3).  This is for several reasons:
+
+   * It has no understanding of any filesystem specific optimizations.
+
+   * It enters the filesystem repeatedly for each page that is written.
+
+   * It depends on reiserfs_get_block() function which if implemented by reiserfs performs costly search_by_key
+   * operation for each page it is supplied with. By contrast reiserfs_file_write() feeds as much as possible at a time
+   * to reiserfs which allows for fewer tree traversals.
+
+   * Each indirect pointer insertion takes a lot of cpu, because it involves memory moves inside of blocks.
+
+   * Asking the block allocation code for blocks one at a time is slightly less efficient.
+
+   All of these reasons for not using only generic file write were understood back when reiserfs was first miscoded to
+   use it, but we were in a hurry to make code freeze, and so it couldn't be revised then.  This new code should make
+   things right finally.
