This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after* we've done a sanity check on the block group. With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large enough to satisfy the input request length. This currently causes the loop during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages for EVERY block group. That can be a lot of pages. The patch below allows us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we have check again after we lock the block group).
