[PATCH] [RFC] mke2fs: handle flex_bg collision with backup descriptors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
