From 4e9563fd55ff4479f2b118d0757d121dd0cfc39c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Fasheh Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 11:37:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix write() performance regression On file systems which don't support sparse files, Ocfs2_map_page_blocks() was reading blocks on appending writes. This caused write performance to suffer dramatically. Fix this by detecting an appending write on a nonsparse fs and skipping the read.
