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

From: brookxu
Date: Wed Aug 05 2020 - 05:18:47 EST


Add more... , As we expected, the running time of the test process is
reduced significantly.

Running time on unrepaired kernel:
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real    0m2.051s
user    0m0.008s
sys    0m2.026s

Running time on repaired kernel:
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real    0m0.471s
user    0m0.004s
sys        0m0.395s

Thanks.
