From c4f675cd40d955d539180506c09515c90169b15b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergei Trofimovich Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 20:20:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: don't spin in shrink_delalloc if there is nothing to free Observed as a large delay when --mixed filesystem is filled up. Test example: 1. create tiny --mixed FS: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=2G.img seek=$((2048 * 1024 * 1024 - 1)) count=1 bs=1 $ mkfs.btrfs --mixed 2G.img $ mount -oloop 2G.img /mnt/ut/ 2. Try to fill it up: $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=10M.file bs=10240 count=1024 $ seq 1 256 | while read file_no; do echo $file_no; time cp 10M.file ${file_no}.copy; done Up to '200.copy' it goes fast, but when disk fills-up each -ENOSPC message takes 3 seconds to pop-up _every_ ENOSPC (and in usermode linux it's even more: 30-60 seconds!). (Maybe, time depends on kernel's timer resolution). No IO, no CPU load, just rescheduling. Some debugging revealed busy spinning in shrink_delalloc.
