Since most metadata reservation calls can return -EINTR when get interrupted by fatal signal, we need to review the all the metadata reservation call sites. In relocation code, the metadata reservation happens in the following sites: - btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in merge_reloc_root() merge_reloc_root() is a pretty critical section, we don't want to be interrupted by signal, so change the flush status to BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT, so it won't get interrupted by signal. Since such change can be ENPSPC-prone, also shrink the amount of metadata to reserve least amount avoid deadly ENOSPC there. - btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in reserve_metadata_space() It calls with BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT, which won't get interrupted by signal. - btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in prepare_to_relocate() - btrfs_block_rsv_add() in prepare_to_relocate() - btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in relocate_block_group() - btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata() in relocate_file_extent_cluster() - btrfs_start_transaction() in relocate_block_group() - btrfs_start_transaction() in create_reloc_inode() Can be interrupted by fatal signal and we can handle it easily. For these call sites, just catch the -EINTR value in btrfs_balance() and count them as canceled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
