    GFS2: Extend the life of the reservations · 0a305e49
    Bob Peterson authored
    This patch lengthens the lifespan of the reservations structure for
    inodes. Before, they were allocated and deallocated for every write
    operation. With this patch, they are allocated when the first write
    occurs, and deallocated when the last process closes the file.
    It's more efficient to do it this way because it saves GFS2 a lot of
    unnecessary allocates and frees. It also gives us more flexibility
    for the future: (1) we can now fold the qadata structure back into
    the structure and save those alloc/frees, (2) we can use this for
    multi-block reservations.
