Commit Message

xfs_bmapi_write can return 0 without actually returning a mapping in
mval in two different cases:

 1) when there is absolutely no space available to do an allocation
 2) when converting delalloc space, and the allocation is so small
    that it only covers parts of the delalloc extent before the
    range requested by the caller

Callers at best can handle one of these cases, but in many cases can't
cope with either one.  Switch xfs_bmapi_write to always return a
mapping or return an error code instead.  For case 1) above ENOSPC is
the obvious choice which is very much what the callers expect anyway.
For case 2) there is no really good error code, so pick a funky one
from the SysV streams portfolio.

This fixes the reproducer here:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/CAEJPjCvT3Uag-pMTYuigEjWZHn1sGMZ0GCjVVCv29tNHK76Cgg@mail.gmail.com0/

which uses reserved blocks to create file systems that are gravely
out of space and thus cause at least xfs_file_alloc_space to hang
and trigger the lack of ENOSPC handling in xfs_dquot_disk_alloc.

Note that this patch does not actually make any caller but
xfs_alloc_file_space deal intelligently with case 2) above.

Hmm.  So I think the answer to my questions earlier is that with the
series applied, ENOSR should never leak out because bmapi_write calls
will always do the piece that the caller asked for, right?

If yes, then

Almost.  With the whole series ENOSR goes away again (but then again
I'm a bit skeptical if it opens new unknown cans of worms, see the
cover letter).

With just this patch it will leak to user space if we ever hit a case
where we completely mishandled this error before.  Which we've not
observed, but which isn't entirely impossible.
