This is very slow compared with writing zeros. In oVirt we measured ~400% improvement in allocation time when replacing posix_fallocate() with manually writing zeroes[2]. We also know that posix_fallocated() does not work well when using OFD locks[3]. We don't know the reason yet for this issue yet. Change preallocate_falloc() to use fallocate() instead of posix_falloate(), and fall back to full preallocation if not supported. Here are quick test results with this change.
