Subject: [PATCH v6 03/20] ext4, jbd2: add fast commit initialization routines

From: Harshad Shirwadkar <[email protected]>

Define feature flags for fast commits and add routines to allow ext4 to
initialize fast commits. Note that we allow 128 blocks to be used for
fast commits. As of now, that's the default constant value.

This function seems more complex than it should be. In this patch the
ext4_should_fast_commit() function is only called once during mount, but
in later patches it looks like it is called many times per file/inode.

Why not just check JOURNAL_FAST_COMMIT, and clear it at mount/remount
time if the other conditions prevent fast commits being used at all?
It seems that JOURNAL_FAST_COMMIT is only set if the FAST_COMMIT feature
is already in the superblock, so always doing both checks seems redundant.

Also, maybe I missed the discussion, but why does having quotas enabled
on the filesystem disable fast commits entirely? I see in patch 11/20
that EXT4_FC_REASON_QUOTA is a reason not to do fast commit on the quota
inodes themselves, which seems like a reasonable limitation if needed,
but the above check disables FC for any filesystem with quota, and I
can't find anywhere that this line is later removed in this series.

Cheers, Andreas

Sounds good, will fix that in the next version.

Thanks Andreas for catching this. Actually, there is nothing stopping
us from enabling fast commits for quota. As it turns out, this is an
unintended carry over from an earlier version of the patchset. I'll
re-enable it in the next version.

Thanks,
Harshad
