btrfs: heed alloc_start
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
currently alloc_start is disregarded if the requested
chunk size is bigger than (device size - alloc_start),
but smaller than the device size.
The only situation where I see this could have made sense
was when a chunk equal the size of the device has been
requested. This was possible as the allocator failed to
take alloc_start into account when calculating the request
chunk size. As this gets fixed by this patch, the workaround
is not necessary anymore.
