The naming of space_info->active_total_bytes is misleading. It counts
not only active block groups but also full ones which are previously
active but now inactive. That confusion results in a bug not counting
the full BGs into active_total_bytes on mount time.
For a background, there are three kinds of block groups in terms of
activation.
1. Block groups never activated
2. Block groups currently active
3. Block groups previously active and currently inactive (due to fully
written or zone finish)
What we really wanted to exclude from "total_bytes" is the total size of
BGs #1. They seem empty and allocatable but since they are not activated,
we cannot rely on them to do the space reservation.
And, since BGs #1 never get activated, they should have no "used",
"reserved" and "pinned" bytes.
OTOH, BGs #3 can be counted in the "total", since they are already full
we cannot allocate from them anyway. For them, "total_bytes == used +
reserved + pinned + zone_unusable" should hold.
Tracking #2 and #3 as "active_total_bytes" (current implementation) is
confusing. And, tracking #1 and subtract that properly from "total_bytes"
every time you need space reservation is cumbersome.
Instead, we can count the whole region of a newly allocated block group as
zone_unusable. Then, once that block group is activated, release
[0 .. zone_capacity] from the zone_unusable counters. With this, we can
eliminate the confusing ->active_total_bytes and the code will be common
among regular and the zoned mode. Also, no additional counter is needed
with this approach.
