From b877e3d37dda0154868a3c78f02f38a1ec14ce79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lachlan McIlroy Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:33:03 +1000 Subject: [XFS] Restore the lowspace extent allocator algorithm When free space is running low the extent allocator may choose to allocate an extent from an AG without leaving sufficient space for a btree split when inserting the new extent (see where xfs_bmap_btalloc() sets minleft to 0). In this case the allocator will enable the lowspace algorithm which is supposed to allow further allocations (such as btree splits and newroots) to allocate from sequential AGs. This algorithm has been broken for a long time and this patch restores its behaviour.
