https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217965 --- Comment #55 from Matthew Stapleton (matthew4196@xxxxxxxxx) --- It looks like reversing the changes made in 7e170922f06bf46effa7c57f6035fc463d6edc7e also fixed the problem (I didn't notice before that the names were changed in the very next commit as well). in fs/ext4/mballoc.c: Commenting out new_cr = CR_GOAL_LEN_SLOW in function: ext4_mb_choose_next_group_goal_fast wasn't enough to fix it so then I did the following as well which fixed the problem: commented out the call to ext4_mb_choose_next_group_best_avail in function: ext4_mb_choose_next_group commented out the code to "Reset goal length to original goal length before falling into CR_GOAL_LEN_SLOW" -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
