The goal of this patch is to remove two references to the buffer delay bit in ext4_da_page_release_reservation() as part of a larger effort to remove all such references from ext4. These two references are principally used to reduce the reserved block/cluster count when pages are invalidated as a result of truncating, punching holes, or collapsing a block range in a file. The entire function is removed and replaced with code in ext4_es_remove_extent() that reduces the reserved count as a side effect of removing a block range from delayed and not unwritten extents in the extent status tree as is done when truncating, punching holes, or collapsing ranges. The code is written to minimize the number of searches descending from rb tree roots for scalability. Signed-off-by: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
