Rewording point 2 to...
Now that we have a common API for marking blocks inuse/free in block
bitmap, use that instead of open coding it in function
ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used(). The current code was not updating
checksum and other counters. ext4_mb_mark_context() should fix these
consistency problems.
Also I now see why you have used "int" (ext4_grpblk_t) for len in
ext4_mb_mark_context(). The reason is because this is "cluster len" which
is defined as ext4_grpblk_t in "struct ext4_free_extent"
I think by default we anyway have 8192 blocks per block group. So it
should be ok for now. I anyway think the usage of blocks and cluster (&
their data type) is confusing at different places which needs an auditing/cleanup.
This patch looks good to me. Feel free to add -
