From: Yang Guo <guoyang2@huawei.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.12-rc1 commit 4ebd3aec3842662300979dacd6fb38e3e8edf7f4 category: performance bugzilla: NA CVE: NA -------------------------------- clear_buffer_new() is used to clear buffer new stat. When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, most buffer heads in the list are not needed to clear. clear_buffer_new() has an enpensive atomic modification operation, Let's add checking buffer head before clear it as __block_write_begin_int does which is good for performance.
