Patch series "improve write IO performance when fragmentation is high", v6. This patch (of 4): After introducing gd->bg_contig_free_bits, the code path 'ocfs2_cluster_group_search() => ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits()' becomes death when all the gd->bg_contig_free_bits are set to the correct value. This patch relocates ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits() to a more appropriate location. (The new place being ocfs2_block_group_set_bits().) In ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits(), the scope of the spin-lock has been adjusted to reduce meaningless lock races. e.g: when userspace creates & deletes 1 cluster_size files in parallel, acquiring the spin-lock in ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits() is totally pointless and impedes IO performance.

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 reStructuredText 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.
