Revision 62e252eeefda62eb8cae9f4286270317ab8d5a42 authored by Steven Whitehouse on 30 July 2012, 10:06:08 UTC, committed by Steven Whitehouse on 13 September 2012, 09:30:58 UTC
The claim_reserved_blks() function was not taking account of
the possibility of "blockages" while performing allocation.
This can be caused by another node allocating something in
the same extent which has been reserved locally.

This patch tests for this condition and then skips the remainder
of the reservation in this case. This is a relatively rare event,
so that it should not affect the general performance improvement
which the block reservations provide.

The claim_reserved_blks() function also appears not to be able
to deal with reservations which cross bitmap boundaries, but
that can be dealt with in a future patch since we don't generate
boundary crossing reservations currently.
