      xfs: don't set bmapi total block req where minleft is · da781e64
      Brian Foster authored
      xfs_bmapi_write() takes a total block requirement parameter that is
      passed down to the block allocation code and is used to specify the
      total block requirement of the associated transaction. This is used
      to try and select an AG that can not only satisfy the requested
      extent allocation, but can also accommodate subsequent allocations
      that might be required to complete the transaction. For example,
      additional bmbt block allocations may be required on insertion of
      the resulting extent to an inode data fork.
      
      While it's important for callers to calculate and reserve such extra
      blocks in the transaction, it is not necessary to pass the total
      value to xfs_bmapi_write() in all cases. The latter automatically
      sets minleft to ensure that sufficient free blocks remain after the
      allocation attempt to expand the format of the associated inode
      (i.e., such as extent to btree conversion, btree splits, etc).
      Therefore, any callers that pass a total block requirement of the
      bmap mapping length plus worst case bmbt expansion essentially
      specify the additional reservation requirement twice. These callers
      can pass a total of zero to rely on the bmapi minleft policy.
      
      Beyond being superfluous, the primary motivation for this change is
      that the total reservation logic in the bmbt code is dubious in
      scenarios where minlen < maxlen and a maxlen extent cannot be
      allocated (which is more common for data extent allocations where
      contiguity is not required). The total value is based on maxlen in
      the xfs_bmapi_write() caller. If the bmbt code falls back to an
      allocation between minlen and maxlen, that allocation will not
      succeed until total is reset to minlen, which essentially throws
      away any additional reservation included in total by the caller. In
      addition, the total value is not reset until after alignment is
      dropped, which means that such callers drop alignment far too
      aggressively than necessary.
      
      Update all callers of xfs_bmapi_write() that pass a total block
      value of the mapping length plus bmbt reservation to instead pass
      zero and rely on xfs_bmapi_minleft() to enforce the bmbt reservation
      requirement. This trades off slightly less conservative AG selection
      for the ability to preserve alignment in more scenarios.
      xfs_bmapi_write() callers that incorporate unrelated or additional
      reservations in total beyond what is already included in minleft
      must continue to use the former.

      xfs: cap longest free extent to maximum allocatable · 1c743574
      Dave Chinner authored
      Cap longest extent to the largest we can allocate based on limits
      calculated at mount time. Dynamic state (such as finobt blocks)
      can result in the longest free extent exceeding the size we can
      allocate, and that results in failure to align full AG allocations
      when the AG is empty.
      
      Result:
      
      xfs_io-4413  [003]   426.412459: xfs_alloc_vextent_loopfailed: dev 8:96 agno 0 agbno 32 minlen 243968 maxlen 244000 mod 0 prod 1 minleft 1 total 262148 alignment 32 minalignslop 0 len 0 type NEAR_BNO otype START_BNO wasdel 0 wasfromfl 0 resv 0 datatype 0x5 firstblock 0xffffffffffffffff
      
      minlen and maxlen are now separated by the alignment size, and
      allocation fails because args.total > free space in the AG.
