btrfs: volumes: Remove ENOSPC-prone btrfs_can_relocate()
[BUG] Test case btrfs/156 fails since commit 302167c50b32 ("btrfs: don't end the transaction for delayed refs in throttle") with ENOSPC. [CAUSE] The ENOSPC is reported from btrfs_can_relocate(). This function will check: - If this block group is empty, we can relocate - If we can enough free space, we can relocate Above checks are valid but the following check is vague due to its implementation: - If and only if we can allocated a new block group to contain all the used space, we can relocate This design itself is OK, but the way to determine if we can allocate a new block group is problematic. btrfs_can_relocate() uses find_free_dev_extent() to find free space on a device. However find_free_dev_extent() only searches commit root and excludes dev extents allocated in current trans, this makes it unable to use dev extent just freed in current transaction. So for the following example, btrfs_can_relocate() will report ENOSPC: The example block group layout: 1M 129M 257M 385M 513M 550M |///////|///////////|//////////| | | // = Used bg, consider all bg is 100% used for easy calculation. And all block groups are SINGLE, on-disk bytenr is the same as the logical bytenr. 1) Bg in [129M, 257M) get relocated to [385M, 513M), transid=100 1M 129M 257M 385M 513M 550M |///////| |//////////|/////////| In transid 100, bg in [129M, 257M) get relocated to [385M, 513M) However transid 100 is not committed yet, so in dev commit tree, we still have the old dev extents layout: 1M 129M 257M 385M 513M 550M |///////|///////////|//////////| | | 2) Try to relocate bg [257M, 385M) We goes into btrfs_can_relocate(), no free space in current bgs, so we check if we can find large enough free dev extents. The first slot is [385M, 513M), but that is already used by new bg at [385M, 513M), so we continue search. The remaining slot is [512M, 550M), smaller than the bg's length 128M. So btrfs_can_relocate report ENOSPC. However this is over killed, in fact if we just skip btrfs_can_relocate() check, and go into regular relocation routine, at extent reservation time, if we can't find free extent, then we fallback to commit transaction, which will free up the dev extents and allow new block group to be created. [FIX] The fix here is to remove btrfs_can_relocate() completely. If we hit the false ENOSPC case just like btrfs/156, extent allocator will push harder by committing transaction and we will have space for new block group, avoiding the false ENOSPC. If we really ran out of space, we will hit ENOSPC at relocate_block_group(), and btrfs will just reports the ENOSPC error as usual.
