In current ocfs2/xattr, the whole xattr set is divided into many steps are many transaction are used, this make the xattr set process isn't like a real transaction, so this patch try to merge all the transaction into one. Another benefit is that acl can use it easily now. I don't merge the transaction of deleting xattr when we remove an inode. The reason is that if we have a large number of xattrs and every xattrs has large values(large enough for outside storage), the whole transaction will be very huge and it looks like jbd can't handle it(I meet with a jbd complain once). And the old inode removal is also divided into many steps, so I'd like to leave as it is. Note: In xattr set, I try to avoid ocfs2_extend_trans since if the credits aren't enough for the extension, it will commit all the dirty blocks and create a new transaction which may lead to inconsistency in metadata. All ocfs2_extend_trans remained are safe now. Signed-off-by: NTao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NMark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
