A large protofile which creates a large directory and requires a a dir tree split, can fail: mkfs.xfs: directory createname error [28 - No space left on device] This is because when we've split a block once, we decrement args->total: (see kernel commit a7444053fb3ebd3d905e3c7a7bd5ea80a54b083a for the rationale) /* account for newly allocated blocks in reserved blocks total */ args->total -= dp->i_d.di_nblocks - nblks; but every call into this path from proto file parsing started reserved / args->total as only "1" as passed tro newdirent() - so if we allocate a block, args->total hits 0, and then in xfs_dir2_node_addname(): /* * Add the new leaf entry. */ rval = xfs_dir2_leafn_add(blk->bp, args, blk->index); if (rval == 0) { ... } else { /* * It didn't work, we need to split the leaf block. */ if (args->total == 0) { ASSERT(rval == ENOSPC); goto done; } /* * Split the leaf block and insert the new entry. */ we hit the args->total == 0 special case, and don't do the next split, and ENOSPC gets returned all the way up, and we fail. So rather than calling newdirent with a total of "1" in every case, which doesn't account for possible tree splits, we should call it with a more appropriate value: XFS_DIRENTER_SPACE_RES(mp, name->len), which will handle the maximum nr of block allocations that might be needed during a directory entry insert. Since the reservation required doesn't depend on entry type, just push this down a level, into newdirent() itself.
