Revision b46637d59f1160dee5d8e03498e667ab36c2be04 authored by Ryan Ding on 25 March 2016, 21:20:55 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 25 March 2016, 23:37:42 UTC
To support direct io in ocfs2_write_begin_nolock & ocfs2_write_end_nolock. There is a problem in ocfs2's direct io implement: if system crashed after extents allocated, and before data return, we will get a extent with dirty data on disk. This problem violate the journal=order semantics, which means meta changes take effect after data written to disk. To resolve this issue, direct write can use the UNWRITTEN flag to describe a extent during direct data writeback. The direct write procedure should act in the following order: phase 1: alloc extent with UNWRITTEN flag phase 2: submit direct data to disk, add zero page to page cache phase 3: clear UNWRITTEN flag when data has been written to disk This patch is to change the 'c_unwritten' member of ocfs2_write_cluster_desc to 'c_clear_unwritten'. Means whether to clear the unwritten flag. It do not care if a extent is allocated or not. And use 'c_new' to specify a newly allocated extent. So the direct io procedure can use c_clear_unwritten to control the UNWRITTEN bit on extent.
