category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or ia64 systems.) In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added a few sanity checks. In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABCAAGBQJR0XhgAAoJENNvdpvBGATwMXkQAJwTPk5XYLqtAwLziFLvM6wG 0tWa1QAzTNo80tLyM9iGqI6x74X5nddLw5NMICUmPooOa9agMuA4tlYVSss5jWzV yyB7vLzsc/2eZJusuVqfTKrdGybE+M766OI6VO9WodOoIF1l51JXKjktKeaWegfv NkcLKlakD4V+ZASEDB/cOcR/lTwAs9dQ89AZzgPiW+G8Do922QbqkENJB8mhalbg rFGX+lu9W0f3fqdmT3Xi8KGn3EglETdVd6jU7kOZN4vb5LcF5BKHQnnUmMlpeWMT ksOVasb3RZgcsyf5ZOV5feXV601EsNtPBrHAmH22pWQy3rdTIvMv/il63XlVUXZ2 AXT3cHEvNQP0/yVaOTCZ9xQVxT8sL4mI6kENP9PtNuntx7E90JBshiP5m24kzTZ/ zkIeDa+FPhsDx1D5EKErinFLqPV8cPWONbIt/qAgo6663zeeIyMVhzxO4resTS9k U2QEztQH+hDDbjgABtz9M/GjSrohkTYNSkKXzhTjqr/m5huBrVMngjy/F4/7G7RD vSEx5aXqyagnrUcjsupx+biJ1QvbvZWOVxAE/6hNQNRGDt9gQtHAmKw1eG2mugHX +TFDxodNE4iWEURenkUxXW3mDx7hFbGZR0poHG3M/LVhKMAAAw0zoKrrUG5c70G7 XrddRLGlk4Hf+2o7/D7B =SwaI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4 Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o: "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations.
