    xfs: limit extent length for allocation to AG size · 14b064ce
    Dave Chinner authored
    Delayed allocation extents can be larger than AGs, so when trying to
    convert a large range we may scan every AG inside
    xfs_bmap_alloc_nullfb() trying to find an AG with a size larger than
    an AG. We should stop when we find the first AG with a maximum
    possible allocation size. This causes excessive CPU usage when there
    are lots of AGs.
    
    The same problem occurs when doing preallocation of a range larger
    than an AG.
    
    Fix the problem by limiting real allocation lengths to the maximum
    that an AG can support. This means if we have empty AGs, we'll stop
    the search at the first of them. If there are no empty AGs, we'll
    still scan them all, but that is a different problem....
