We keep track of what we've so far been referring to as reservations in rd_rstree: the nodes in that tree indicate where in a resource group we'd like to allocate the next couple of blocks for a particular inode. Local processes take those as hints, but they may still "steal" blocks from those extents, so when actually allocating a block, we must double check in the bitmap whether that block is actually still free. Likewise, other cluster nodes may "steal" such blocks as well. One of the following patches introduces resource group glock sharing, i.e., sharing of an exclusively locked resource group glock among local processes to speed up allocations. To make that work, we'll need to keep track of how many blocks we've actually reserved for each inode, so we end up with two different kinds of reservations. Distinguish these two kinds by referring to blocks which are reserved but may still be "stolen" as "requested". This rename also makes it more obvious that rs_requested and rd_requested are strongly related. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
