Hi!!

I'm studyng ext4 code, and i got a doubt on a situation:

Supposing a 4K page size, and a fs with 8K.. when we are filling page info,:

{ 4K page   }{ 4K page   }{ 4K page   }{ 4K page   }
[       group 0 bitmap      ] [      group 0 buddy        ]

Clearly bitmap and buddy info don't fits on a single page, but e4b
structure saves only one page address.

How mb allocator menages this situation??

Thanks!!!
