ocfs2: change default reservation window sizes
The default reservation size of 4 (32-bit windows) is a bit too ambitious.
Scale it back to 16 bits (resv_level=2). I have been testing various sizes
on a 4-node cluster which runs a mixed workload that is heavily threaded.
With a 256MB local alloc, I get *roughly* the following levels of average file
fragmentation:
resv_level=0 70%
resv_level=1 21%
resv_level=2 23%
resv_level=3 24%
resv_level=4 60%
resv_level=5 did not test
resv_level=6 60%
resv_level=2 seemed like a good compromise between not letting windows be
too small, but not so big that heavier workloads will immediately suffer
without tuning.
This patch also change the behavior of directory reservations - they now
track file reservations. The previous compromise of giving directory
windows only 8 bits wound up fragmenting more at some window sizes because
file allocations had smaller unused windows to poach from.
