Subject: [PATCH v2 09/16] ext4: fix zombie groups in average fragment size lists
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 15:32:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250623073304.3275702-10-libaokun1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250623073304.3275702-1-libaokun1@huawei.com>
Groups with no free blocks shouldn't be in any average fragment size list.
However, when all blocks in a group are allocated(i.e., bb_fragments or
bb_free is 0), we currently skip updating the average fragment size, which
means the group isn't removed from its previous s_mb_avg_fragment_size[old]
list.
This created "zombie" groups that were always skipped during traversal as
they couldn't satisfy any block allocation requests, negatively impacting
traversal efficiency.
Therefore, when a group becomes completely free, bb_avg_fragment_size_order
is now set to -1. If the old order was not -1, a removal operation is
performed; if the new order is not -1, an insertion is performed.
Fixes: 196e402adf2e ("ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning")
