v1->v2: - Two extra patches to remove the last user of sync_inode() (p9fs) and then remove sync_inode() itself, as per hch's request --- Original email --- Hello, I've been debugging and fixing a problem we hit in production related to getting ENOSPC when we still should have had space to use. A variety of different things were going wrong, but one of them was sometimes we wouldn't wait for all of delalloc to be flushed. This series of patches fixes a few problems in this area, starting with btrfs: handle shrink_delalloc pages calculation differently When we switched to writing pages instead of full inodes for flushing we didn't adjust the counters to give us pages, instead using the "items" amount. This is incorrect as we'd just not flush that much delalloc, leaving a lot laying around when we finally ENOSPC'd. The next bit are related to compression, as we have compression on everywhere in production. btrfs: wait on async extents when flushing delalloc btrfs: wake up async_delalloc_pages waiters after submit I ripped this code out because I added a second sync_inode() if we had async extents in order to do the proper waiting. However sync_inode() could skip writeout if writeout had begun already on the inode, so we still need this waiting in order to make sure we don't try to wait on ordered extents until all ordered extents have been created. And finally these two patches fs: add a filemap_fdatawrite_wbc helper btrfs: use the filemap_fdatawrite_wbc helper for delalloc shrinking We need a writeback helper that will take a wbc and not try to do anything fancy other than write out the inode we want. sync_inode() has the drawback that it will skip writeout if the inode is currently under writeback, and thus we won't wait properly. I ran this series through fsperf, the results ar eposted below. I'm still printing the %diff, but I'm also printing the stdev so you can see the variance in teh values we expect. Generally there is no change or it's within the normal range. These patches really only affect anything when we're very full on space. I also ran this through the enospc stress test and saw no early enospc.
