ext4: FLEX_BG Kernel support v2.
This feature relaxes check restrictions on where each block groups meta data is located within the storage media. This allows for the allocation of bitmaps or inode tables outside the block group boundaries in cases where bad blocks forces us to look for new blocks which the owning block group can not satisfy. This will also allow for new meta-data allocation schemes to improve performance and scalability. Signed-off-by: Jose R. Santos <jrs@us.ibm.com> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
