The metadata read-ahead algorithm broke when switching from recursive to non-recursive delete: the current algorithm reads ahead blocks at height N - 1 while deallocating the blocks at hight N. However, deallocating the blocks at height N requires a complete walk of the metadata tree, not only down to height N - 1. Consequently, all blocks below height N - 1 will be accessed without read-ahead. Fix this by issuing read-aheads as early as possible, after each metapath lookup.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
