Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: Replace CR_FAST macro with inline function for readability
Date:   Fri, 30 Jun 2023 14:29:27 +0530
Message-Id: <20230630085927.140137-1-ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
MIME-Version: 1.0
Precedence: bulk

Replace CR_FAST with ext4_mb_cr_expensive() inline function for better
readability. This function returns true if the criteria is one of the
expensive/slower ones where lots of disk IO/prefetching is acceptable.

No functional changes are intended in this patch.

Changes since v1 [1] 

* reworded an if condition in ext_mb_good_group_nolock
  and added a comment to better describe the intent of the 
	condition
* Picked up RVB from Jan.
