[PATCH 18/33] xfs: add block reservation renewal to xfs_defer_finish

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-xfs
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add infrastructure to automatically renew block and RT extent
reservations after deferred operations have been processed by
xfs_defer_finish().

Unlike log reservations which are renewed by xfs_log_regrant() on
every roll, block reservations are carried forward by
xfs_trans_dup() with consumed blocks subtracted. Over multiple
rolls, the reservation can be depleted even though each iteration
of the caller needs the same reservation.

Add a new XFS_TRANS_RENEW_BLKRES flag. When set, the original
block reservation is recorded in t_blk_res_orig (and t_rtx_res_orig
for RT extents) at transaction allocation time and propagated
through xfs_trans_dup(). After xfs_defer_finish() completes all
deferred operations and performs the final roll,
xfs_trans_regrant_blkres() reserves the deficit between
t_blk_res and t_blk_res_orig from the free space pool, restoring
the original reservation for the next iteration.

The regrant is not performed during the internal rolls in
xfs_defer_finish_noroll() because the original reservation already
contains all the space needed for the deferred op chain. The regrant
after the final roll operates on a clean transaction, so the caller
can safely cancel on ENOSPC without causing a filesystem shutdown.

xfs_defer_finish() is changed to unconditionally roll the transaction
after deferred op processing so that the regrant always occurs.
