4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 48af96ab92bc68fb645068b978ce36df2379e076 upstream. The block reservation for the transaction allocated in xfs_shift_file_space() is an artifact of the original collapse range support. It exists to handle the case where a collapse range occurs, the initial extent is left shifted into a location that forms a contiguous boundary with the previous extent and thus the extents are merged. This code was subsequently refactored and reused for insert range (right shift) support. If an insert range occurs under low free space conditions, the extent at the starting offset is split before the first shift transaction is allocated. If the block reservation fails, this leaves separate, but contiguous extents around in the inode. While not a fatal problem, this is unexpected and will flag a warning on subsequent insert range operations on the inode. This problem has been reproduce intermittently by generic/270 running against a ramdisk device. Since right shift does not create new extent boundaries in the inode, a block reservation for extent merge is unnecessary. Update xfs_shift_file_space() to conditionally reserve fs blocks for left shift transactions only. This avoids the warning reproduced by generic/270.
