commit 1c320d8e92925bb7615f83a7b6e3f402a5c2ca63 upstream.
Groups with no free blocks shouldn't be in any average fragment size list. However, when all blocks in a group are allocated(i.e., bb_fragments or bb_free is 0), we currently skip updating the average fragment size, which means the group isn't removed from its previous s_mb_avg_fragment_size[old] list.
This created "zombie" groups that were always skipped during traversal as they couldn't satisfy any block allocation requests, negatively impacting traversal efficiency.
Therefore, when a group becomes completely full, bb_avg_fragment_size_order is now set to -1. If the old order was not -1, a removal operation is performed; if the new order is not -1, an insertion is performed.
