In ext4_mb_normalize_request(), if ac_g_ex.fe_logical is adjacent to the closest logical allocated block to the left or (ac_g_ex.fe_logical+len) adjacent to the closest logical allocated block to the right, we'll attach EXT4_MB_HINT_TRY_GOAL flag taking the physical block (ext4_allocation_request.lleft+1) or (ext4_allocation_request.pright-len) as a goal, and put this information in ext4_allocation_context.ac_f_ex. But look at the ext4_mb_find_by_goal(), indeed it use ac_g_ex to look up, so this is wrong, we should save goal group and offset in struct ext4_allocation_context.ac_g_ex.
