ocfs2: give ocfs2 the ability to reclaim suballocator free bg

Browse source 
Patch series "ocfs2: give ocfs2 the ability to reclaim suballocator free
bg", v6.


This patch (of 2):

The current ocfs2 code can't reclaim suballocator block group space.  In
some cases, this causes ocfs2 to hold onto a lot of space.  For example,
when creating lots of small files, the space is held/managed by the
'//inode_alloc'.  After the user deletes all the small files, the space
never returns to the '//global_bitmap'.  This issue prevents ocfs2 from
providing the needed space even when there is enough free space in a small
ocfs2 volume.

This patch gives ocfs2 the ability to reclaim suballocator free space when
the block group is freed.  For performance reasons, this patch keeps the
first suballocator block group active.
