When we are inside ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() in CR1, we can be sure that this group has atleast 1 big enough continuous free extent to satisfy our request because (free / fragments) > goal length. Hence, instead of wasting time looping over smaller free extents, only try to consider the free extent if we are sure that it has enough continuous free space to satisfy goal length. This is particularly useful when scanning highly fragmented BGs in CR1 as, without this patch, the allocator might stop scanning early before reaching the big enough free extent (due to ac_found > mb_max_to_scan) which causes us to uncessarily trim the request.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
