Subject: [PATCH 5/5] ext4: add new ioctl EXT4_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS
Add a new ioctl which forces the all of the extents in an inode to be
cached in the extent_status tree. This is critically important when
using AIO to a preallocated file, since if we need to read in blocks
from the extent tree, the io_submit(2) system call becomes
synchronous, and the AIO is no longer "A", which is bad.
In addition, for most files which have an external leaf tree block,
the cost of caching the information in the extent status tree will be
less than caching the entire 4k block in the buffer cache. So it is
generally a win to keep the extent information cached.
