The growdata transaction is used by growfs operations to increase the data size of the filesystem. Part of this sequence involves extending the size of the last preexisting AG in the fs, if necessary. This is implemented by freeing the newly available physical range to the AG. tr_growdata is not a permanent transaction, however, and block allocation transactions must be permanent to handle deferred frees of AGFL blocks. If the grow operation extends an existing AG that requires AGFL fixing, assert failures occur due to a populated dfops list on a non-permanent transaction and the AGFL free does not occur. This is reproduced (rarely) by xfs/104. Change tr_growdata to a permanent transaction with a default log count. This increases initial transaction reservation size, but growfs is an infrequent and non-performance critical operation and so should have minimal impact. Reported-by: Darrick J.

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.
