From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>
When we are near ENOSPC and don't have enough free
space for an args->maxlen allocation, xfs_alloc_space_available()
will trim args->maxlen to equal the available space. However, this
function has only checked that there is enough contiguous free space
for an aligned args->minlen allocation to succeed. Hence there is no
guarantee that an args->maxlen allocation will succeed, nor that the
available space will allow for correct alignment of an args->maxlen
allocation.
Further, by trimming args->maxlen arbitrarily, it breaks an
assumption made in xfs_alloc_fix_len() that if the caller wants
aligned allocation, then args->maxlen will be set to an aligned
value. It then skips the tail alignment and so we end up with
extents that aren't aligned to extent size hint boundaries as we
approach ENOSPC.
To avoid this problem, don't reduce args->maxlen by some random,
arbitrary amount. If args->maxlen is too large for the available
space, reduce the allocation to a minlen allocation as we know we
have contiguous free space available for this to succeed and always
be correctly aligned.
