In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.

After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:

Running time on unfixed kernel:
    # time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
    real    0m2.051s
    user    0m0.008s
    sys     0m2.026s

Running time on fixed kernel:
    # time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
    real    0m0.471s
    user    0m0.004s
    sys     0m0.395s

+commit 27bc446e2def38db3244a6eb4bb1d6312936610a
+Author: brookxu <brookxu.cn@gmail.com>
+Date:   Mon Aug 17 15:36:15 2020 +0800
+
+ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc list
+
+In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
+be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
+To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
+prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
+
+After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
+the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
+to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
+fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:
+
+Running time on unfixed kernel:
+    [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
+    real    0m2.051s
+    user    0m0.008s
+    sys     0m2.026s
+
+Running time on fixed kernel:
+    [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
+    real    0m0.471s
+    user    0m0.004s
+    sys     0m0.395s
