[PATCH v2 2/3] ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc list

From: brookxu
Date: Tue Aug 04 2020 - 21:02:14 EST


In the scenario of writing sparse files, the Per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
