Subject: [PATCH 10/13] ext4: Ensure ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() is called for all prefetched BGs
Date:   Thu, 25 May 2023 17:03:04 +0530
Message-Id: <c25f6f22dd232ba5fc150e0ed306cb19565c4bb2.1685009579.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>

Before this patch, the call stack in ext4_run_li_request is as follows:

  /*
   * nr = no. of BGs we want to fetch (=s_mb_prefetch)
   * prefetch_ios = no. of BGs not uptodate after
   * 		    ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait()
   */
  next_group = ext4_mb_prefetch(sb, group, nr, prefetch_ios);
  ext4_mb_prefetch_fini(sb, next_group prefetch_ios);

ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() will only try to initialize buddies for BGs in
range [next_group - prefetch_ios, next_group). This is incorrect since
sometimes (prefetch_ios < nr), which causes ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() to
incorrectly ignore some of the BGs that might need initialization. This
issue is more notable now with the previous patch enabling "fetching" of
BLOCK_UNINIT BGs which are marked buffer_uptodate by default.

Fix this by passing nr to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() instead of
prefetch_ios so that it considers the right range of groups.

Similarly, make sure we don't pass nr=0 to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() in
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() since we might have prefetched BLOCK_UNINIT
groups that would need buddy initialization.
