In ocfs2, the block group search looks for the "emptiest" group to allocate from. So if the allocator has many equally(or almost equally) empty groups, new block group will tend to get spread out amongst them.
We add osb_last_alloc_group in ocfs2_super to record the last used allocation group so that next time we can allocate inode group directly from it. For more details, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/InodeAllocationStrategy.
