[RFC 03/11] ext4: mballoc: Fix getting the right group desc in ext4_mb_prefetch_fini

From: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>
Date: 2023-01-27 12:38:11
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

group descriptor and group info are not of the same group in
ext4_mb_prefetch_fini(). This problem was found during code
review/walkthrough and seems like a bug, so fix it.
