The rmapbt extent swap algorithm remaps individual extents between
the source inode and the target to trigger reverse mapping metadata
updates. If either inode straddles a format or other bmap allocation
boundary, the individual unmap and map cycles can trigger repeated
bmap block allocations and frees as the extent count bounces back
and forth across the boundary. While net block usage is bound across
the swap operation, this behavior can prematurely exhaust the
transaction block reservation because it continuously drains as the
transaction rolls. Each allocation accounts against the reservation
and each free returns to global free space on transaction roll.
The previous workaround to this problem attempted to detect this
boundary condition and provide surplus block reservation to
acommodate it. This is insufficient because more remaps can occur
than implied by the extent counts; if start offset boundaries are
not aligned between the two inodes, for example.
To address this problem more generically and dynamically, add a
transaction accounting mode that returns freed blocks to the
transaction reservation instead of the superblock counters on
transaction roll and use it when the rmapbt based algorithm is
active. This allows the chain of remap transactions to preserve the
block reservation based own its own frees and prevent premature
exhaustion regardless of the remap pattern. Note that this is only
safe for superblocks with lazy sb accounting, but the latter is
required for v5 supers and the rmap feature depends on v5.

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.
