It's not the speculative preallocation changes - ithey are just
exposing some other regression. That is, using MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o
allocsize=4k" gives the previous behaviour, while allocsize=512m
gives the same behaviour as the dynamic preallocation.
The dynamic behaviour is resulting in megabyte sized IOs being
issued for random 512 byte writes (which is wrong), so I'm tending
towards it being a regression caused by the reecent writeback path
changes. I'll dig deeper today.
Cheers,
Dave.
