I've been chasing asserts about reserved blocks when testing the reflink
feature over NFS. I was right with my suspicion that the full allocator
recursion from xfs_refcountbt_alloc_block was the culprit, but I should
have read the assert before jumping to conclusions: we're running out
of space reservations, not log reservations.
The problem is that we need reserve the space for these normal allocator
block pools used by the refcount btree, which we may use up for allocations
and frees given that we use the normal space allocator for it.
This means we need a reservation for each transaction that truncates
extents, including those allocated in xfs_trans_roll. The patch below
demonstrates a local hack that makes things work for me so far, but
I don't think it's a viable solution.
Darrick, Dave - can you explain the design decisions behind the
refcount btree block allocations to me? This whole area still seems
to be in constant flux, so it seems there are lots of tradeoffs to make.
