[PATCH v2] ocfs2: Fix DIO failure due to insufficient transaction credits

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary
transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does
not take into account that the IO could be arbitrarily large and can
contain arbitrary number of extents. Extent tree manipulations do often
extend the current transaction but not in all of the cases. For example
if we have only single block extents in the tree,
ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling
ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the time and we will never extend the
current transaction and eventually exhaust all the transaction credits
if the IO contains many single block extents. Once that happens
a WARN_ON(jbd2_handle_buffer_credits(handle) <= 0) is triggered in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() and subsequently OCFS2 aborts in response
to this error. This was actually triggered by one of our customers on
a heavily fragmented OCFS2 filesystem.

To fix the issue make sure the transaction always has enough credits for
one extent insert before each call of ocfs2_mark_extent_written().
