    ext3: speed up group trim with the right free block count. · bbac751d
    Tao Ma authored
    When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext3, we should
    calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are
    enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will
    only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which
    is wrong.
    
    Let us see a small example:
    a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k.
    And minblocks is 1M. With current solution, we have to iterate
    the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from
    1.5M. But actually we should exit after we find the first 2
    free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we
    subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.
