btrfs: adjust overcommit logic when very close to full
A user reported some unpleasant behavior with very small file systems. The reproducer is this $ mkfs.btrfs -f -m single -b 8g /dev/vdb $ mount /dev/vdb /mnt/test $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/testfile bs=512M count=20 This will result in usage that looks like this Overall: Device size: 8.00GiB Device allocated: 8.00GiB Device unallocated: 1.00MiB Device missing: 0.00B Device slack: 2.00GiB Used: 5.47GiB Free (estimated): 2.52GiB (min: 2.52GiB) Free (statfs, df): 0.00B Data ratio: 1.00 Metadata ratio: 1.00 Global reserve: 5.50MiB (used: 0.00B) Multiple profiles: no Data,single: Size:7.99GiB, Used:5.46GiB (68.41%) /dev/vdb 7.99GiB Metadata,single: Size:8.00MiB, Used:5.77MiB (72.07%) /dev/vdb 8.00MiB System,single: Size:4.00MiB, Used:16.00KiB (0.39%) /dev/vdb 4.00MiB Unallocated: /dev/vdb 1.00MiB As you can see we've gotten ourselves quite full with metadata, with all of the disk being allocated for data. On smaller file systems there's not a lot of time before we get full, so our overcommit behavior bites us here. Generally speaking data reservations result in chunk allocations as we assume reservation == actual use for data. This means at any point we could end up with a chunk allocation for data, and if we're very close to full we could do this before we have a chance to figure out that we need another metadata chunk. Address this by adjusting the overcommit logic. Simply put we need to take away 1 chunk from the available chunk space in case of a data reservation. This will allow us to stop overcommitting before we potentially lose this space to a data allocation. With this fix in place we properly allocate a metadata chunk before we're completely full, allowing for enough slack space in metadata.
