[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH v3] ocfs2: retry on ENOSPC if sufficient space in truncate log

[Eric Ren <zren@suse.com>]

The testcase "mmaptruncate" in ocfs2 test suite always fails with
ENOSPC error on small volume (say less than 10G). This testcase
repeatedly performs "extend" and "truncate" on a file. Continuously,
it truncates the file to 1/2 of the size, and then extends to 100% of
the size. The main bitmap will quickly run out of space because the
"truncate" code prevent truncate log from being flushed by
ocfs2_schedule_truncate_log_flush(osb, 1), while truncate log may
have cached lots of clusters.

So retry to allocate after flushing truncate log when ENOSPC is
returned. And we cannot reuse the deleted blocks before the transaction
committed. Fortunately, we already have a function to do this -
ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log(). Just need to remove the "static"
modifier and put it into the right place.

The "unlock"/"lock" code isn't elegant, but looks no better option.

v3:
1. Also need to lock allocator inode when "= 0" is returned from
ocfs2_schedule_truncate_log_flush(), which means no space really.
-- spotted by Joseph Qi

v2:
1. Lock allocator inode again if ocfs2_schedule_truncate_log_flush()
fails. -- spotted by Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@huawei.com>
