[ Upstream commit a6c75eaf11032f4a3d2b3ce2265a194ac6e4a7f0 ] Add new stats for measuring the performance of mballoc. This patch is forked from Artem Blagodarenko's work that can be found here: https://github.com/lustre/lustre-release/blob/master/ldiskfs/kernel_patches/patches/rhel8/ext4-simple-blockalloc.patch This patch reorganizes the stats by cr level. This is how the output looks like: mballoc: reqs: 0 success: 0 groups_scanned: 0 cr0_stats: hits: 0 groups_considered: 0 useless_loops: 0 bad_suggestions: 0 cr1_stats: hits: 0 groups_considered: 0 useless_loops: 0 bad_suggestions: 0 cr2_stats: hits: 0 groups_considered: 0 useless_loops: 0 cr3_stats: hits: 0 groups_considered: 0 useless_loops: 0 extents_scanned: 0 goal_hits: 0 2^n_hits: 0 breaks: 0 lost: 0 buddies_generated: 0/40 buddies_time_used: 0 preallocated: 0 discarded: 0 Signed-off-by: Harshad Shirwadkar <harshadshirwadkar@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Reviewed-by: Ritesh Harjani <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210401172129.189766-4-harshadshirwadkar@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Stable-dep-of: 5354b2af3406 ("ext4: allow ext4_get_group_info() to fail") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
