[PATCHv5 2/6] ext4: Optimize ext4_ext_precache for 0 depth

flat view

From: Ritesh Harjani <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-28 09:27:20
Also in: linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

This patch avoids the memory alloc & free path when depth is 0,
since anyway there is no extra caching done in that case.
So on checking depth 0, simply return early.
