Please disregard this series. I'm stupid and had lockdep active during testing, so the timing was messed up and reclaim had a chance to kick in.
We had a report from the field where filling a zoned drive with one file 60% of the drive's capacity and then overwriting this file results in ENOSPC. If said drive is fast and small enough, the problem can be easily triggered, as both reclaim of dirty block-groups and deletion of unused block-groups only happen at transaction commit time. But if the whole test is faster than we're doing transaction commits we're unnecessarily running out of usable space on a zoned drive. This can easily be reproduced by the following fio snippet: fio --name=foo --filename=$TEST/foo --size=$60_PERCENT_OF_DRIVE --rw=write\ --loops=2 A fstests testcase for this issue will be sent as well. --- Johannes Thumshirn (2): btrfs: zoned: use rcu list for iterating devices to collect stats btrfs: zoned: wake up cleaner sooner if needed fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c | 6 ++++++ fs/btrfs/zoned.c | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- base-commit: d9796b728dcbf25e0190e542be33902222098fac change-id: 20240122-reclaim-fix-1fcae9c27fc8 Best regards,
