Subject: [PATCH 2.6.33.y 32/40] ext4: check for a good block group before loading buddy pages
From: Curt Wohlgemuth <curtw@...gle.com>
commit 8a57d9d61a6e361c7bb159dda797672c1df1a691 upstream (as of v2.6.34-git13)
This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available
block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after*
we've done a sanity check on the block group.
With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full
partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large
enough to satisfy the input request length. This currently causes the loop
during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages
for EVERY block group. That can be a lot of pages. The patch below allows
us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we
have check again after we lock the block group).
