From 0e9deca480c30d78c0b922bff9abe2f81284d8fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2017 22:36:49 +0000 Subject: ext4: fix stripe-unaligned allocations [ Upstream commit d9b22cf9f5466a057f2a4f1e642b469fa9d73117 ] 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.
