was "[PATCH RFC 0/3] block,ext4: Introduce REQ_OP_ASSIGN_RANGE to reflect extents allocation in block device internals") v4: Correct argument for mddev_check_write_zeroes(). v3: Rename REQ_NOZERO to REQ_ALLOCATE. Split helpers to separate patches. Add a patch, disabling max_allocate_sectors inheritance for dm. v2: Introduce new flag for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES instead of introduction a new operation as suggested by Martin K. Petersen. Removed ext4-related patch to focus on block changes for now. Information about continuous extent placement may be useful for some block devices. Say, distributed network filesystems, which provide block device interface, may use this information for better blocks placement over the nodes in their cluster, and for better performance. Block devices, which map a file on another filesystem (loop), may request the same length extent on underlining filesystem for less fragmentation and for batching allocation requests. Also, hypervisors like QEMU may use this information for optimization of cluster allocations. This patchset introduces REQ_ALLOCATE flag for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, which makes a block device to allocate blocks instead of actual blocks zeroing. This may be used for forwarding user's fallocate(0) requests into block device internals. E.g., in loop driver this will result in allocation extents in backing-file, so subsequent write won't fail by the reason of no available space. Distributed network filesystems will be able to assign specific servers for specific extents, so subsequent write will be more efficient. Patches [1-3/7] are preparation on helper functions, patch [4/7] introduces REQ_ALLOCATE flag and implements all the logic, patch [5/7] adds one more helper, patch [6/7] disables REQ_ALLOCATE for dm, which inherits limits from underlining block devices, patch [7/7] adds loop as the first user of the flag. Note, that here is only block-related patches, example of usage for ext4 with a performance numbers may be seen in [1].
