Brian Foster 48af96ab92 xfs: don't reserve blocks for right shift transactions
The block reservation for the transaction allocated in
xfs_shift_file_space() is an artifact of the original collapse range
support. It exists to handle the case where a collapse range occurs,
the initial extent is left shifted into a location that forms a
contiguous boundary with the previous extent and thus the extents
are merged. This code was subsequently refactored and reused for
insert range (right shift) support.

If an insert range occurs under low free space conditions, the
extent at the starting offset is split before the first shift
transaction is allocated. If the block reservation fails, this
leaves separate, but contiguous extents around in the inode. While
not a fatal problem, this is unexpected and will flag a warning on
subsequent insert range operations on the inode. This problem has
been reproduce intermittently by generic/270 running against a
ramdisk device.

Since right shift does not create new extent boundaries in the
inode, a block reservation for extent merge is unnecessary. Update
xfs_shift_file_space() to conditionally reserve fs blocks for left
shift transactions only. This avoids the warning reproduced by
generic/270.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
