Subject: TAKE 956323 - File system block reservation mechanism is broken
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:43:14 +1100 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070110054314.A64F058CF82A@chook.melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)

Fix block reservation mechanism.

The block reservation mechanism has been broken since the per-cpu
superblock counters were introduced. Make the block reservation code
work with the per-cpu counters by syncing the counters, snapshotting
the amount of available space and then doing a modifcation of the
counter state according to the result. Continue in a loop until we
either have no space available or we reserve some space.
