[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH] GFS2: Speed up fiemap function by skipping holes

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

Hi,

This patch detects the new holesize bit in block_map requests. If a
hole is found during fiemap, it figures out the size of the hole
based on the current metapath information. Since the metapath only
represents a section of the file, it can only extrapolate to a
certain size based on the current metapath buffers. Therefore,
fiemap may call blockmap several times to get the hole size.
The hole size is determined by a new function.

Regards,
