dm thin: handle running out of data space vs concurrent discard
Discards issued to a DM thin device can complete to userspace (via fstrim) _before_ the metadata changes associated with the discards is reflected in the thinp superblock (e.g. free blocks). As such, if a user constructs a test that loops repeatedly over these steps, block allocation can fail due to discards not having completed yet: 1) fill thin device via filesystem file 2) remove file 3) fstrim From initial report, here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-April/msg00022.html "The root cause of this issue is that dm-thin will first remove mapping and increase corresponding blocks' reference count to prevent them from being reused before DISCARD bios get processed by the underlying layers. However. increasing blocks' reference count could also increase the nr_allocated_this_transaction in struct sm_disk which makes smd->old_ll.nr_allocated + smd->nr_allocated_this_transaction bigger than smd->old_ll.nr_blocks. In this case, alloc_data_block() will never commit metadata to reset the begin pointer of struct sm_disk, because sm_disk_get_nr_free() always return an underflow value." While there is room for improvement to the space-map accounting that thinp is making use of: the reality is this test is inherently racey and will result in the previous iteration's fstrim's discard(s) completing vs concurrent block allocation, via dd, in the next iteration of the loop. No amount of space map accounting improvements will be able to allow user's to use a block before a discard of that block has completed. So the best we can really do is allow DM thinp to gracefully handle such aggressive use of all the pool's data by degrading the pool into out-of-data-space (OODS) mode. We _should_ get that behaviour already (if space map accounting didn't falsely cause alloc_data_block() to believe free space was available).. but short of that we handle the current reality that dm_pool_alloc_data_block() can return -ENOSPC.
