From 83104d449e8c44e4870a795132437257cdf80006 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2016 09:11:46 -0700 Subject: xfs: garbage collect old cowextsz reservations Trim CoW reservations made on behalf of a cowextsz hint if they get too old or we run low on quota, so long as we don't have dirty data awaiting writeback or directio operations in progress. Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from prealloc extent reaping because setting the CoW prealloc lifetime to a (much) higher value than the regular prealloc extent lifetime has been useful for combatting CoW fragmentation on VM hosts where the VMs experience bursty write behaviors and we can keep the utilization ratios low enough that we don't start to run out of space. IOWs, it benefits us to keep the CoW fork reservations around for as long as we can unless we run out of blocks or hit inode reclaim. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
