Subject: [PATCH v4] EXT4: optimizing group search for inode allocation
you are right flex groups cannot be completely empty as some
blocks are used for inode table and allocation bitmaps. I
missed that point. I have corrected that.Also I have tested
and validated this patch by putting some traces it works!
Here are corresponding logs:
commands:
=========
mkfs.ext4 -g 10000 -G 2 /dev/sdc
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc /mnt/test_ext4/
cd /mnt/test_ext4
mkdir 1
cd 1

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: optimizing group serch for inode allocation
Added a check at the start of group search loop to
avoid looping unecessarily in case of empty group.
This also allow group search to jump directly to
"found_flex_bg" with "stats" and "group" already set,
so there is no need to go through the extra steps of
setting "best_desc" , "best_group" and then break
out of the loop just to set "stats" and "group" again.
