Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/5] ext4: optimize to reduce redundant ext4_error()

It would be better to describe this with something like:

ext4: avoid calling ext4_error if the bitmap is already marked bad

"optimized" can mean many things, and so it's better to much more
precise about what you are changing (and again, why).
