Subject: [PATCH v2 12/16] ext4: factor out ext4_mb_might_prefetch()
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 15:33:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250623073304.3275702-13-libaokun1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250623073304.3275702-1-libaokun1@huawei.com>

Extract ext4_mb_might_prefetch() to make the code clearer and to
prepare for the later conversion of 'choose group' to 'scan groups'.
No functional changes.
