Subject[PATCH 4.4 22/40] ext4: fix stripe-unaligned allocations
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>


[ Upstream commit d9b22cf9f5466a057f2a4f1e642b469fa9d73117 ]

When a filesystem is created using:

mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E stride=512 <dev>

and we try to allocate 64MB extent, we will end up directly in
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group(). This is because the request is detected
as power-of-two allocation (so we start in ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
with ac_criteria == 0) however the check before
ext4_mb_simple_scan_group() refuses the direct buddy scan because the
allocation request is too large. Since cr == 0, the check whether we
should use ext4_mb_scan_aligned() fails as well and we fall back to
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group().

Fix the problem by checking for upper limit on power-of-two requests
directly when detecting them.
