[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] gfs2: Fix fallocate chunk size

[Bob Peterson]

----- Original Message -----
| The chunk size of allocations in __gfs2_fallocate is calculated
| incorrectly.  The size can collapse, causing __gfs2_fallocate to
| allocate one block at a time, which is very inefficient.  This needs
| fixing in two places:
| 
| In gfs2_quota_lock_check, always set ap->allowed to UINT_MAX to indicate
| that there is no quota limit.  This fixes callers that rely on
| ap->allowed to be set even when quotas are off.
| 
| In __gfs2_fallocate, reset max_blks to UINT_MAX in each iteration of the
| loop to make sure that allocation limits from one resource group won't
| spill over into another resource group.
