Thoughts? Scrub should never be calling xfs_alloc_fix_freelist since it's a readonly operation, and repair should never be running with an empty transaction, so this should be fine kernel-side. As for xfs_repair... yes, it does call libxfs_trans_alloc_rollable to get a "permanent" transaction (which is actually tr_itruncate too). So this should be fine in xfsprogs too. --D > Brian > > > if (!pag->pagf_init) { > > error = xfs_alloc_read_agf(mp, tp, args->agno, flags, &agbp); > > if (error) > > diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_resv.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_resv.c > > index f99a7aefe418..83f4ee2afc49 100644 > > --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_resv.c > > +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_resv.c > > @@ -876,9 +876,13 @@ xfs_trans_resv_calc( > > resp->tr_sb.tr_logres = xfs_calc_sb_reservation(mp); > > resp->tr_sb.tr_logcount = XFS_DEFAULT_LOG_COUNT; > > > > + /* growdata requires permanent res; it can free space to the last AG */ > > + resp->tr_growdata.tr_logres = xfs_calc_growdata_reservation(mp); > > + resp->tr_growdata.tr_logcount = XFS_DEFAULT_PERM_LOG_COUNT; > > + resp->tr_growdata.tr_logflags |= XFS_TRANS_PERM_LOG_RES; > > + > > /* The following transaction are logged in logical format */ > > resp->tr_ichange.tr_logres = xfs_calc_ichange_reservation(mp); > > - resp->tr_growdata.tr_logres = xfs_calc_growdata_reservation(mp); > > resp->tr_fsyncts.tr_logres = xfs_calc_swrite_reservation(mp); > > resp->tr_writeid.tr_logres = xfs_calc_writeid_reservation(mp); > > resp->tr_attrsetrt.tr_logres = xfs_calc_attrsetrt_reservation(mp); > > -- > > 2.17.2 > >
