    gfs2: Fix metadata read-ahead during truncate (2) · e7445ced
    Andreas Gruenbacher authored
    The previous attempt to fix for metadata read-ahead during truncate was
    incorrect: for files with a height > 2 (1006989312 bytes with a block
    size of 4096 bytes), read-ahead requests were not being issued for some
    of the indirect blocks discovered while walking the metadata tree,
    leading to significant slow-downs when deleting large files.  Fix that.
    
    In addition, only issue read-ahead requests in the first pass through
    the meta-data tree, while deallocating data blocks.
