>From ae69b07596c0f054483b0434c30a330a811ee8ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 15:46:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: Fix stripe-unaligned allocations When a filesystem is created using: mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E stride=512 and we try to allocate 64MB extent, we will end up directly in ext4_mb_complex_scan_group(). This is because the request is detected as power-of-two allocation (so we start in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() with ac_criteria == 0) however the check before ext4_mb_simple_scan_group() refuses the direct buddy scan because the allocation request is too large. Since cr == 0, the check whether we should use ext4_mb_scan_aligned() fails as well and we fall back to ext4_mb_complex_scan_group(). Fix the problem by checking for upper limit on power-of-two requests directly when detecting them.
