Subject: ext4: don't load the block bitmap for block groups which have no space
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01fc48e8929e45e67527200017cff4e74e4ba054;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: don't load the block bitmap for block groups which have no space

Add a short circuit check to ext4_mb_group_group() so that we don't
bother to load the block bitmap for a block group which does not have
any space available.  (Or which does not have enough space until we
are in desperation mode, i.e., when cr == 3.)
