| H A D | sysfs-fs-ext4 | diff 67a5da564f97f31c4054d358e00b34d7ee570da5 Fri Aug 17 15:54:17 CEST 2012 Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@taobao.com> ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunable
Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.
So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.
