When we enter xfs_bmbt_alloc_block() without having first allocated a data extent (i.e. tp->t_firstblock == NULLFSBLOCK) because we are doing something like unwritten extent conversion, the transaction block reservation is used as the minleft value. This works for operations like unwritten extent conversion, but it assumes that the block reservation is only for a BMBT split. THis is not always true, and sometimes results in larger than necessary minleft values being set. We only actually need enough space for a btree split, something we already handle correctly in xfs_bmapi_write() via the xfs_bmapi_minleft() calculation. We should use xfs_bmapi_minleft() in xfs_bmbt_alloc_block() to calculate the number of blocks a BMBT split on this inode is going to require, not use the transaction block reservation that contains the maximum number of blocks this transaction may consume in it...

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.
