HAMMER changes in HEAD, also needs testing
I've made some fairly straightforward changes to HAMMER in HEAD, but
they need testing.
* Inode numbers are now allocated to maintain linearity with the
directory scan order, when possible. Note however that this
optimization breaks if a file is created under a temporary name
and then renamed.
This should significantly improve cpdup, tar, cpio, ls, and find.
The optimization only applies to newly created directory trees,
existing trees cannot be reoptimized since their inode numbers
have already been assigned.
* Hints can now be passed to the block allocator. The B-Tree code
now uses them to try to keep internal nodes more localized. The
block allocator also now leaves a bit of empty space at the end
of the big-block for localized B-Tree expansion room.
I also made a minor change to cpdup to not use temporary filenames
when doing a fresh copy (when the target file does not exist). To test
HAMMER with cpdup you need the new cpdup. The old cpdup always creates
a temporary file and then rename()'s and that unfortunately breaks the
optimization that HAMMER makes to order the inode numbers.
