Subject: [RFC 1/1] ext4: Improve fast_commit performance and scalability
Currently ext4_fc_commit_dentry_updates() is of quadratic time
complexity, which is causing performance bottlenecks with high
threads/file/dir count with fs_mark.
This patch makes commit dentry updates (and hence ext4_fc_commit()) path
to linear time complexity. Hence improves the performance of workloads
which does fsync on multiple threads/open files one-by-one.
Absolute numbers in avg file creates per sec (from fs_mark in 1K order)
