Btrfs: fix our reservations for updating an inode when completing io
People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io. This is because we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update the inode. The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating the inode when doing delalloc. This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is delalloc. Then came the delayed inode stuff. This is amazing, except it wants a full reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again. This worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve, that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems. So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it. So take an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it through the life of the delalloc reservation. If we need it we can steal it in the delayed inode stuff. If we have already stolen it try and do a normal metadata reservation. If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation. If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve. With this patch I ran xfstests 13 in a loop for a couple of hours and didn't see any problems. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
