From 938c710d99a62eed93b6a2770f92f943762beca0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 09:39:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: calculate inode walk prefetch more carefully The existing inode walk prefetch is based on the old bulkstat code, which simply allocated 4 pages worth of memory and prefetched that many inobt records, regardless of however many inodes the caller requested. 65536 inodes is a lot to prefetch (~32M on x64, ~512M on arm64) so let's scale things down a little more intelligently based on the number of inodes requested, etc. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
