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.

block group specific preallocation pool, so that small

files are packed closely together. Each large file

Description:
|
|
The maximum number of kilobytes which will be zeroed
|
|
out in preference to creating a new uninitialized
|
|
extent when manipulating an inode's extent tree. Note
|
|
that using a larger value will increase the
|
|
variability of time necessary to complete a random
|
|
write operation (since a 4k random write might turn
|
|
into a much larger write due to the zeroout
|
|
operation).
