Revision 38851cc19adbfa1def2b47106d8050a80e0a3673 authored by Miao Xie on 08 February 2013, 07:04:11 UTC, committed by Josef Bacik on 20 February 2013, 17:59:48 UTC
This idea is from ext4. By this patch, we can make the dio write parallel,
and improve the performance. But because we can not update isize without
i_mutex, the unlocked dio write just can be done in front of the EOF.

We needn't worry about the race between dio write and truncate, because the
truncate need wait untill all the dio write end.

And we also needn't worry about the race between dio write and punch hole,
because we have extent lock to protect our operation.

I ran fio to test the performance of this feature.
