    fallocate should be a file operation · 2fe17c10
    Christoph Hellwig 提交于
    Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
    while XFS forced a commit.  Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
    I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
    case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes.  On the
    other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
    uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions.   Given
    that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
    an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
    available that lets us check for O_SYNC.
    
    This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
    and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
    up fallocate for regular files.
