From 1939dd84b3f52e9c8d1b46dffae2058f16a3ff6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Monakhov Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:26:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: cleanup ext4_ext_grow_indepth code Currently code make an impression what grow procedure is very complicated and some mythical paths, blocks are involved. But in fact grow in depth it relatively simple procedure: 1) Just create new meta block and copy root data to that block. 2) Convert root from extent to index if old depth == 0 3) Update root block pointer This patch does: - Reorganize code to make it more self explanatory - Do not pass path parameter to new_meta_block() in order to provoke allocation from inode's group because top-level block should site closer to it's inode, but not to leaf data block. [ This happens anyway, due to logic in mballoc; we should drop the path parameter from new_meta_block() entirely. -- tytso ] Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" --- Reading git-format-patch failed
