Naohiro Aota ae6ca63439 btrfs: zoned: cache reported zone during mount
commit 16beac87e9 upstream.

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.
