fat: optimize fat_count_free_clusters()
On large partition, scanning the free clusters is very slow if users doesn't use "usefree" option. For optimizing it, this patch uses sb_breadahead() to read of FAT sectors. On some user's 15GB partition, this patch improved it very much (1min => 600ms). The following is the result of 2GB partition on my machine. without patch: root@devron (/)# time df -h > /dev/null real 0m1.202s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.440s with patch: root@devron (/)# time df -h > /dev/null real 0m0.378s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.168s Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
