When mounting a device, we are reporting the zones twice: once for checking the zone attributes in btrfs_get_dev_zone_info and once for loading block groups' zone info in btrfs_load_block_group_zone_info(). With a lot of block groups, that leads to a lot of REPORT ZONE commands and slows down the mount process. This patch introduces a zone info cache in struct btrfs_zoned_device_info. The cache is populated while in btrfs_get_dev_zone_info() and used for btrfs_load_block_group_zone_info() to reduce the number of REPORT ZONE commands. The zone cache is then released after loading the block groups, as it will not be much effective during the run time. Benchmark: Mount an HDD with 57,007 block groups Before patch: 171.368 seconds After patch: 64.064 seconds While it still takes a minute due to the slowness of loading all the block groups, the patch reduces the mount time by 1/3.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
