* docs: ABI: Drop trailing whitespaceGeert Uytterhoeven2020-11-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Remove all trailing whitespace from the ABI documentation. Most of it was introduced during recent updates.

* ext4: add sysfs attr /sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/journal_taskKonstantin Khlebnikov2019-02-211-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful for moving journal thread into cgroup or for tracing it with ftrace/perf/blktrace. For now the only way is `pgrep jbd2/$DISK` but this is not reliable: name may be longer than "comm" limit and any task could mock it. Attribute shows pid in current pid-namespace or 0 if task is unreachable. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunableZheng Liu2012-08-171-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will unnecessarily grow the extent tree. So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

* ext4: update ext4 documentationLukas Czerner2011-02-221-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add documentation for mount options and ioctls to Documentation/filesystem/ext4.txt, which has not been udpated for some time. Also add for ext4 sysfs tunables to the Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-ext4 file, and fix a few typographical errors in that file. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9423 Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
* ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode numberAndreas Dilger2009-06-131-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or parent directory inode allocation algorithms. The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg. In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes. Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via /sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

* ext4: Add sysfs supportTheodore Ts'o2009-03-311-0/+81
Add basic sysfs support so that information about the mounted filesystem and various tuning parameters can be accessed via /sys/fs/ext4/<dev>/*. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
