Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ofdisk: enhance boot time by focusing on boot disk
relevance
After a historical review, it's clear that a boot delay regression
coincided with the introduction of the fcp iterating patch. Reverting
this patch has shown promising signs in mitigating the issue. In order
to improve the efficiency, a more refined discovery process is proposed,
aiming to exclude device types differing from the boot disk to curtail
unnecessary iterations.
This patch extends prior efforts by exclusively targeting root device
discovery linked to the boot disk, verifying device types to prevent
process elongation.
It is worth noting that grub's opportunistic approach to assembling the
root device, seeking accessible results in parallel during iteration,
sometimes allows even a partially assembled RAID, albeit in a degraded
mode. However, delays stem from unrelated devices appearing before the
actual boot device.
To streamline the boot process, the patch utilizes parent nodes in
conjunction with block device nodes to extract essential boot-related
information. This refined identification method efficiently limits the
application's scope to devices connected to the chosen boot device,
notably optimizing subsequent device iteration. By adeptly filtering out
devices not linked to the same FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol) device, it
significantly enhances boot efficiency, ensuring a more streamlined and
efficient boot process.
