Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] xfs: set minleft correctly for sparse chunk errortag allocation
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:15:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923161524.416059-2-bfoster@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923161524.416059-1-bfoster@redhat.com>
The errortag instrumentation for forced sparse chunk allocation
jumps straight to the allocation path without setting args.minleft.
minleft is unconditionally set to ->inobt_maxlevels for the normal
allocation path. Lift the assignment to the initial args setup so
it covers all possible paths.
Assisted-by: LLM
Fixes: 1cdadee11f8d ("xfs: randomly do sparse inode allocations in DEBUG mode")
