    [PATCH] ext3 block allocator cleanup · 74d74915
    Andrew Morton authored
    This just reorganizes some ghastly goto-and-retry-spaghetti in the core of
    the ext3 block allocator.
    
    I wrote this ages ago in preparation for fixing the find_next_usable_block()
    CPU pigginess problem, but that proved to be quite nontrivial.
    
    The patch has been in -mm for a long time and Martin has recently confirmed
    that it introduces no performance regression in SDET and kernbench.
