[PATCH 5.15 45/76] dm cache: optimize dirty bit checking with find_next_bit when resizing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ming-Hung Tsai <mtsai@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f484697e619a83ecc370443a34746379ad99d204 upstream.

When shrinking the fast device, dm-cache iteratively searches for a
dirty bit among the cache blocks to be dropped, which is less efficient.
Use find_next_bit instead, as it is twice as fast as the iterative
approach with test_bit.
