Hello Harshad,
Thanks for this great work. I am still testing these patches. Right now I have noticed this flow -
s_bal_groups_considered is counted twice. It is placed to ext4_mb_good_group, that is called twice,
one time from ext4_mb_good_group_nolock and again from ext4_mb_good_group_nolock.
I’d rather put s_bal_groups_considered into the ext4_mb_good_group_nolock().
Here is simple execution (on non-fragmented partition) with old counter location
[root@CO82 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file4 bs=2M count=2 conv=fsync
2+0 records in
2+0 records out

And location that suggested
[root@CO82 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file3 bs=2M count=2 conv=fsync

mballoc:

success: 2

Second looks more rational.
Best regards,
Artem Blagodarenko.
