    ocfs2: ac->ac_allow_chain_relink=0 won't disable group relink · 309a85b6

    ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig() disables chain relink by setting
    ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 0 because it grabs clusters from multiple
    cluster groups.
    
    It doesn't keep the credits for all chain relink,but
    ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits overrides this in this call trace:
    ocfs2_block_group_claim_bits()->ocfs2_claim_clusters()->
    __ocfs2_claim_clusters()->ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits()
    ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits set ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 1; then call
    ocfs2_search_chain() one time and disable it again, and then we run out
    of credits.
    
    Fix is to allow relink by default and disable it in
    ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig.
    
    Without this patch, End-users will run into a crash due to run out of
    credits, backtrace like this:
