Btrfs: fix enospc problems when deleting a subvol
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Subvol delete is a special kind of awful where we use the global reserve to
cover the ENOSPC requirements.  The problem is once we're done removing
everything we do a btrfs_update_inode(), which by default will try to do the
delayed update stuff which will use it's own reserve.  There will be no
space in this reserve and we'll return ENOSPC.  So instead use
btrfs_update_inode_fallback() which will just fallback to updating the inode
item in the case of enospc.  This is fine because the global reserve covers
the space requirements for this.  With this patch I can now delete a subvol
on a problem image Dave Sterba sent me.  Thanks,
