Subject: A bug in ext4 with big directories (was: NVFS XFS metadata)
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 05:20:55 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.02.2009230459450.1800@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200923024528.GD12096@dread.disaster.area>

Hi

There seems to be a bug in ext4 - when I create very large directory, ext4 
fails with -ENOSPC despite the fact that there is plenty of free space and 
free inodes on the filesystem.

How to reproduce:
download the program dir-test: 
http://people.redhat.com/~mpatocka/benchmarks/dir-test.c

# modprobe brd rd_size=67108864
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram0
# mount -t ext4 /dev/ram0 /mnt/test
# dir-test /mnt/test/ 8000000 8000000
deleting: 7999000
2540000
file 2515327 can't be created: No space left on device
# df /mnt/test
/dev/ram0        65531436 633752 61525860   2% /mnt/test
# df -i /mnt/test
/dev/ram0        4194304 1881547 2312757   45% /mnt/test

(I tried to increase journal size, but it has no effect on this bug)

Mikulas
