Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Replace posix_fallocate() with falloate()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 17:01:25 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200831140127.657134-1-nsoffer@redhat.com> (raw)

Change preallocation=falloc to use fallocate() instead of
posix_fallocte(), improving performance when legacy filesystem that do
not support fallocate, and avoiding issues seen with OFD locks.

More work is needed to respect cache mode when using full preallocation
and maybe optimize buffer size.
