Delayed Allocation for Ordering Mode

• Delayed allocation and Bufferheads

  • bufferhead is used to link a page to a disk block
  • bufferhead is also used to link the page with the related journal for ordering purpose
  • delayed allocation defers bufferhead creation for a page to writepages time, late for ordering purpose

• Proposed solution: add a ordered-like journalling mode which doesn't use bufferheads
