[ Upstream commit 4068664e3cd2312610ceac05b74c4cf1853b8325 ]
Extents are cached in read_extent_tree_block(); as a result, extents
are not cached for inodes with depth == 0 when we try to find the
extent using ext4_find_extent(). The result of the lookup is cached
in ext4_map_blocks() but is only a subset of the extent on disk. As a
result, the contents of extents status cache can get very badly
fragmented for certain workloads, such as a random 4k read workload.
File size of /mnt/test is 33554432 (8192 blocks of 4096 bytes)

Fix this by caching the extents for inodes with depth == 0 in
ext4_find_extent().
[ Renamed ext4_es_cache_extents() to ext4_cache_extents() since this
newly added function is not in extents_cache.c, and to avoid
potential visual confusion with ext4_es_cache_extent(). -TYT ]

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.
