    [XFS] Prevent free space oversubscription and xfssyncd looping. · 4be536de
    David Chinner 提交于
    The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on
    allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not
    leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we
    needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list
    and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times.
    
    However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free
    list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could
    cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying
    to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the
    AG.
    
    The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the
    inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those
    blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and
    makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block
    ioctl respect this requirement.
