5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kemeng Shi <shikemeng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 19a043bb1fd1b5cb2652ca33536c55e6c0a70df0 ] ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple ignores the group before goal, so it will fail if free blocks reside in group before goal. Try all groups to avoid unexpected failure. Search finishes either if any free block is found or if no available blocks are found. Simpliy check "i >= max" to distinguish the above cases.
