Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix free space estimate in ext4_nonda_switch()
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 13:19:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130403171931.GC3006@wallace> (raw)
Values stored in s_freeclusters_counter and s_dirtyclusters_counter
are both in cluster units. Remove the cluster to block conversion
applied to s_freeclusters_counter causing an inflated estimate of
free space because s_dirtyclusters_counter is not similarly
converted. Rename free_blocks and dirty_blocks to better reflect
the units these variables contain to avoid future confusion. This
fix corrects ENOSPC failures for xfstests 127 and 231 on bigalloc
file systems.
