From 506bf2d82165c09b179a5077e01037f6270a4db3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:56:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: allocate stripe-multiple IOs on stripe boundaries For some reason, today mballoc only allocates IOs which are exactly stripe-sized on a stripe boundary. If you have a multiple (say, a 128k IO on a 64k stripe) you may end up unaligned. It seems to me that a simple change to align stripe-multiple IOs on stripe boundaries would be a very good idea, unless this breaks some other mballoc heuristic for some reason...
