Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:44:37 -0700 From: Andreas Dilger <adilger@...ger.ca> To: tytso@....edu Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Andreas Dilger <adilger@...ger.ca> Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] mke2fs: handle flex_bg collision with backup descriptors If the flex_bg allocator is laying out block or inode bitmaps or inode tables, and collides with previously allocated metadata (for example the backup superblock or group descriptors) don't reset the allocator to the beginning of the flex_bg, but rather skip the intervening blocks if there aren't too many of them. Otherwise, if a large flex_bg factor is specified (e.g. 131072) the inode table will hit the backup descriptors in groups 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and start interleaving with the block and inode bitmaps. That ends up producing poorly allocated bitmaps and inode tables that are interleaved and not contiguous as was intended for flex_bg.
