1 ext4: try to initialize all groups we can in case of failure on ppc64
3 From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>
5 Currently on the machines with page size > block size when initializing
6 block group buddy cache we initialize it for all the block group bitmaps
7 in the page. However in the case of read error, checksum error, or if
8 a single bitmap is in any way corrupted we would fail to initialize all
9 of the bitmaps. This is problematic because we will not have access to
10 the other allocation groups even though those might be perfectly fine
13 Fix this by reading all the bitmaps instead of error out on the first
14 problem and simply skip the bitmaps which were either not read properly,
