Brian Foster 75d65361cf xfs: split indlen reservations fairly when under reserved
Certain workoads that punch holes into speculative preallocation can
cause delalloc indirect reservation splits when the delalloc extent is
split in two. If further splits occur, an already short-handed extent
can be split into two in a manner that leaves zero indirect blocks for
one of the two new extents. This occurs because the shortage is large
enough that the xfs_bmap_split_indlen() algorithm completely drains the
requested indlen of one of the extents before it honors the existing
reservation.

This ultimately results in a warning from xfs_bmap_del_extent(). This
has been observed during file copies of large, sparse files using 'cp
--sparse=always.'

To avoid this problem, update xfs_bmap_split_indlen() to explicitly
apply the reservation shortage fairly between both extents. This smooths
out the overall indlen shortage and defers the situation where we end up
with a delalloc extent with zero indlen reservation to extreme
circumstances.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
