From 361eb69fc99f1a8f1d653d69ecd742f3cbb896be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ojaswin Mujoo Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2023 13:43:42 +0530 Subject: ext4: Remove the logic to trim inode PAs Earlier, inode PAs were stored in a linked list. This caused a need to periodically trim the list down inorder to avoid growing it to a very large size, as this would severly affect performance during list iteration. Recent patches changed this list to an rbtree, and since the tree scales up much better, we no longer need to have the trim functionality, hence remove it.
