percpu counter: update center counter when sum per-cpu counter
From: Mingming cao <[email protected]>
Delayed allocation need to check free blocks at every write time.
percpu_counter_read_positive() is not quit accurate
but using percpu_counter_sum_positive() for every write
frequently is quite expensive.
This patch added a new function to update center counter when
sum up per-cpu counters, to increase the accurate rate
for next percpu_counter_read()(which reads only the center counter
and require less calling expensive percpu_counter_sum().(in
ext4_has_free_blocks)

I couldn't compile the latest ext4 patch qeueu.
LD fs/ext3/ext3.o
LD fs/ext3/built-in.o
CC fs/ext4/balloc.o
fs/ext4/balloc.c: In function $B!F(Bext4_has_free_blocks$B!G(B:

Maybe the above line which in percpucounter-add-sum-and-set-function.patch
is percpu_counter_sum_and_set(&sbi->s_freeblocks_couter).
Thanks,

I confirmed that I could compile the latest ext4 patch queue correctly.
Thanks. :-)
