[PATCH] Btrfs: relax the block group size limit for bitmaps
Dave pointed out that xfstests 273 will tell you that it failed to load the space cache for a block group when it remounts. This is because we run out of space writing out the block group cache. This is ok and is working as it should, but let''s try to be a bit nicer. This happens because the block group was 100mb, but bitmap entries cover 128mb, so we were only getting extent entries for this block group, which ended up being too many to fit in the free space cache. So relax the bitmap size requirements to block groups that are at least half the size a bitmap will cover or larger, that way we can still keep the amount of space used in the free space cache low enough to be able to write it out. With this patch I no longer fail to write out the free space cache.
