ocfs2: lighten up allocate transaction
The issue scenario is as following: When fallocating a very large disk space for a small file, __ocfs2_extend_allocation attempts to get a very large transaction. For some journal sizes, there may be not enough room for this transaction, and the fallocate will fail. The patch below extends & restarts the transaction as necessary while allocating space, and should work with even the smallest journal. This patch refers ext4 resize. Test: # mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 32K -T datafiles /dev/sdc ...(jounral size is 32M) # mount.ocfs2 /dev/sdc /mnt/ocfs2/ # touch /mnt/ocfs2/1.log # fallocate -o 0 -l 400G /mnt/ocfs2/1.log fallocate: /mnt/ocfs2/1.log: fallocate failed: Cannot allocate memory # tail -f /var/log/messages [ 7372.278591] JBD: fallocate wants too many credits (2051 > 2048) [ 7372.278597] (fallocate,6438,0):__ocfs2_extend_allocation:709 ERROR: status = -12 [ 7372.278603] (fallocate,6438,0):ocfs2_allocate_unwritten_extents:1504 ERROR: status = -12 [ 7372.278607] (fallocate,6438,0):__ocfs2_change_file_space:1955 ERROR: status = -12 ^C With this patch, the test works well.
