ext4: make mballoc try target group first even with mb_optimize_scan
One of the side-effects of mb_optimize_scan was that the optimized
functions to select next group to try were called even before we tried
the goal group. As a result we no longer allocate files close to
corresponding inodes as well as we don't try to expand currently
allocated extent in the same group. This results in reaim regression
with workfile.disk workload of upto 8% with many clients on my test
machine:
baseline mb_optimize_scan
Hmean disk-1 2114.16 ( 0.00%) 2099.37 ( -0.70%)
Hmean disk-41 87794.43 ( 0.00%) 83787.47 * -4.56%*
Hmean disk-81 148170.73 ( 0.00%) 135527.05 * -8.53%*
Hmean disk-121 177506.11 ( 0.00%) 166284.93 * -6.32%*
Hmean disk-161 220951.51 ( 0.00%) 207563.39 * -6.06%*
Hmean disk-201 208722.74 ( 0.00%) 203235.59 ( -2.63%)
Hmean disk-241 222051.60 ( 0.00%) 217705.51 ( -1.96%)
Hmean disk-281 252244.17 ( 0.00%) 241132.72 * -4.41%*
Hmean disk-321 255844.84 ( 0.00%) 245412.84 * -4.08%*
Also this is causing huge regression (time increased by a factor of 5 or
so) when untarring archive with lots of small files on some eMMC storage
cards.
Fix the problem by making sure we try goal group first.
