XFS started using the perag metadata reservation pool for free inode
btree blocks in commit 76d771b4cb ("xfs: use per-AG reservations
for the finobt"). To handle backwards compatibility, finobt blocks
are accounted against the pool so long as the full reservation is
available at mount time. Otherwise the ->m_inotbt_nores flag is set
and the filesystem falls back to the traditional per-transaction
finobt reservation.
This commit has two problems:
- finobt blocks are always accounted against the metadata
reservation on allocation, regardless of ->m_inotbt_nores state
- finobt blocks are never returned to the reservation pool on free
The first problem affects reflink+finobt filesystems where the full
finobt reservation is not available at mount time. finobt blocks are
essentially stolen from the reflink reservation, putting refcountbt
management at risk of allocation failure. The second problem is an
unconditional leak of metadata reservation whenever finobt is
enabled.
Update the finobt block allocation callouts to consider
->m_inotbt_nores and account blocks appropriately. Blocks should be
consistently accounted against the metadata pool when
->m_inotbt_nores is false and otherwise tagged as RESV_NONE.

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.
