Subject: dm cache: emit a warning message if there are a lot of cache blocks
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1d9220cbaeecce910f3ecfeb71cc897a678eb68;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

dm cache: emit a warning message if there are a lot of cache blocks

Loading and saving millions of block mappings takes time.  We may as
well explain what's going on, and encourage people to use a larger
cache block size.
