From 7ad9bb651fc2036ea94bed94da76a4b08959a911 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:51:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix initalization of s_flex_groups The s_flex_groups array should have been initialized using atomic_add to sum up the free counts from the block groups that make up a flex_bg. By using atomic_set, the value of the s_flex_groups array was set to the values of the last block group in the flex_bg. The impact of this bug is that the block and inode allocation algorithms might not pick the best flex_bg for new allocation. Thanks to Damien Guibouret for pointing out this problem!
