Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 5/6] ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning

I ran some experiments this morning and here are the results:

1) Config 1:
     - add change to skip CR0 / CR1 optimizations and fall back to
linear search when all groups are not loaded
     - prefetch block bitmaps mount option turned off
     - first_write_latency: 6m 56s
     - number_of_groups_loaded_at_the_end_of_first_write: 30726 out of
491520 total

2) Config 2:
     - add change to skip CR0 / CR1 optimizations and fall back to
linear search when all groups are not loaded
     - prefetch block bitmaps mount option turned on
     - first_write_latency:4m42s
     - number_of_groups_loaded_at_the_end_of_first_write: 490497 out
of 491520 total

3) Config 3:
    - don't fallback to linear search
    - prefetch block bitmaps turned off
    - first_write_latency: 0.13s
    - number_of_groups_loaded_at_the_end_of_first_write: 7 out of 491520 total

4) Config 4:
    - don't fallback to linear search
    - prefetch block bitmaps turned on
    - first_write_latency: 0.15s
    - number_of_groups_loaded_at_the_end_of_first_write: 48384 out of
491520 total

Based on the above numbers, I think we should go for config 4, which
means we should have prefetch_block_bitmaps turned on when
mb_optimize_scan is on. What do you think about turning
prefetch_block_bitmaps mount option on by default?
