H A D | mballoc.c | eabe0444 Tue Apr 09 11:22:29 CDT 2013 Andrey Sidorov <qrxd43@motorola.com> ext4: speed-up releasing blocks on commit
Improve mb_free_blocks speed by clearing entire range at once instead of iterating over each bit. Freeing block-by-block also makes buddy bitmap subtree flip twice making most of the work a no-op. Very few bits in buddy bitmap require change, e.g. freeing entire group is a 1 bit flip only. As a result, releasing blocks of 60G file now takes 5ms instead of 2.7s. This is especially good for non-preemptive kernels as there is no rescheduling during release.
