btrfs: Prevent from early transaction abort
Btrfs relies on GFP_NOFS allocation when committing the transaction but this allocation context is rather weak wrt. reclaim capabilities. The page allocator currently tries hard to not fail these allocations if they are small (<=PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER) so this is not a problem currently but there is an attempt to move away from the default no-fail behavior and allow these allocation to fail more eagerly. And this would lead to a pre-mature transaction abort as follows: [ 55.328093] Call Trace: [ 55.328890] [<ffffffff8154e6f0>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7b [ 55.330518] [<ffffffff8108fa28>] ? console_unlock+0x334/0x363 [ 55.332738] [<ffffffff8110873e>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x81d/0x8d4 [ 55.334910] [<ffffffff81100752>] pagecache_get_page+0x10e/0x20c [ 55.336844] [<ffffffffa007d916>] alloc_extent_buffer+0xd0/0x350 [btrfs] [ 55.338973] [<ffffffffa0059d8c>] btrfs_find_create_tree_block+0x15/0x17 [btrfs] [ 55.341329] [<ffffffffa004f728>] btrfs_alloc_tree_block+0x18c/0x405 [btrfs] [ 55.343566] [<ffffffffa003fa34>] split_leaf+0x1e4/0x6a6 [btrfs] [ 55.345577] [<ffffffffa0040567>] btrfs_search_slot+0x671/0x831 [btrfs] [ 55.347679] [<ffffffff810682d7>] ? get_parent_ip+0xe/0x3e [ 55.349434] [<ffffffffa0041cb2>] btrfs_insert_empty_items+0x5d/0xa8 [btrfs] [ 55.351681] [<ffffffffa004ecfb>] __btrfs_run_delayed_refs+0x7a6/0xf35 [btrfs] [ 55.353979] [<ffffffffa00512ea>] btrfs_run_delayed_refs+0x6e/0x226 [btrfs] [ 55.356212] [<ffffffffa0060e21>] ? start_transaction+0x192/0x534 [btrfs] [ 55.358378] [<ffffffffa0060e21>] ? start_transaction+0x192/0x534 [btrfs] [ 55.360626] [<ffffffffa0060221>] btrfs_commit_transaction+0x4c/0xaba [btrfs] [ 55.362894] [<ffffffffa0060e21>] ? start_transaction+0x192/0x534 [btrfs] [ 55.365221] [<ffffffffa0073428>] btrfs_sync_file+0x29c/0x310 [btrfs] [ 55.367273] [<ffffffff81186808>] vfs_fsync_range+0x8f/0x9e [ 55.369047] [<ffffffff81186833>] vfs_fsync+0x1c/0x1e [ 55.370654] [<ffffffff81186869>] do_fsync+0x34/0x4e [ 55.372246] [<ffffffff81186ab3>] SyS_fsync+0x10/0x14 [ 55.373851] [<ffffffff81554f97>] system_call_fastpath+0x12/0x6f [ 55.381070] BTRFS: error (device hdb1) in btrfs_run_delayed_refs:2821: errno=-12 Out of memory [ 55.382431] BTRFS warning (device hdb1): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
