Subject: [RFC 08/11] ext4: Don't skip prefetching BLOCK_UNINIT groups
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 18:07:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4881693a4f5ba1fed367310b27c793e4e78520d3.1674822311.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1674822311.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>

Currently, ext4_mb_prefetch() and ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() skip
BLOCK_UNINIT groups since fetching their bitmaps doesn't need disk IO.
As a consequence, we end not initializing the buddy structures and CR0/1
lists for these BGs, even though it can be done without any disk IO
overhead. Hence, don't skip such BGs during prefetch and prefetch_fini.

This improves the accuracy of CR0/1 allocation as earlier, we could have
essentially empty BLOCK_UNINIT groups being ignored by CR0/1 due to their buddy
not being initialized, leading to slower CR2 allocations. With this patch CR0/1
will be able to discover these groups as well, thus improving performance.
