[PATCH v10 10/21] btrfs: try more times to alloc metadata reserve space

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wang Xiaoguang <wangxg.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata(), the number of metadata bytes we try
to reserve is calculated by the difference between outstanding_extents and
reserved_extents.

When reserve_metadata_bytes() fails to reserve desited metadata space,
it has already done some reclaim work, such as write ordered extents.

In that case, outstanding_extents and reserved_extents may already
changed, and we may reserve enough metadata space then.

So this patch will try to call reserve_metadata_bytes() at most 3 times
to ensure we really run out of space.

Such false ENOSPC is mainly caused by small file extents and time
consuming delalloc functions, which mainly affects in-band
de-duplication. (Compress should also be affected, but LZO/zlib is
faster than SHA256, so still harder to trigger than dedupe).
