P.S. Oh yeah, it should be noted that freezing at the filesystem

Thank you for your comments.
That's inherently unsafe - you can have multiple unfreezes
running in parallel which seriously screws with the bdev semaphore
count that is used to lock the device due to doing multiple up()s
for every down.

Hi all,
I have updated my online defrag patchset for addition of a new function.
This function is defragmentation for free space.
If filesytem has insufficient contiguous free blocks, defrag tries to move
other files to make sufficient space and reallocates the contiguous blocks
for the target fil

Hi all,
I have made following changes to the previous online defrag patchset
to improve it. Note that there is no functional change.
1. Change the handling of temporary inode.
Now ext4_ext_defrag() calls ext4_new_inode()/iput() pair instead of
new_inode()/delete_ext_defrag_inode(). Because
Move lg_list to s_locality_dirty and mark lg as dirty
if nr_to_write(total page count which has not written in disk yet)
is 0 or less and lg_io is not empty in ext4_lg_sync_single_group().
This makes sure that inode is written to disk.
