Current atomic write has three major issues like below. - keeps the updates in non-reclaimable memory space and they are even hard to be migrated, which is not good for contiguous memory allocation. - disk spaces used for atomic files cannot be garbage collected, so this makes it difficult for the filesystem to be defragmented. - If atomic write operations hit the threshold of either memory usage or garbage collection failure count, All the atomic write operations will fail immediately. To resolve the issues, I will keep a COW inode internally for all the updates to be flushed from memory, when we need to flush them out in a situation like high memory pressure. These COW inodes will be tagged as orphan inodes to be reclaimed in case of sudden power-cut or system failure during atomic writes.
