Subject: btrfs: Fix no_space in write and rm loop
From: Zhao Lei <zhaolei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e1746e8381cd2af421f75557b5cae3604fc18b35 upstream.
I see no_space in v4.4-rc1 again in xfstests generic/102.
It happened randomly in some node only.
(one of 4 phy-node, and a kvm with non-virtio block driver)
By bisect, we can found the first-bad is:
commit bdced438acd8 ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting")'
But above patch only triggered the bug by making bio operation
faster(or slower).
Main reason is in our space_allocating code, we need to commit
page writeback before wait it complish, this patch fixed above
bug.
BTW, there is another reason for generic/102 fail, caused by
disable default mixed-blockgroup, I'll fix it in xfstests.
