If a lot of metadata is reserved for outstanding delayed allocations, we
rely on shrink_delalloc() to reclaim metadata space in order to fulfill
reservation tickets. However, shrink_delalloc() has a shortcut where if
it determines that space can be overcommitted, it will stop early. This
made sense before the ticketed enospc system, but now it means that
shrink_delalloc() will often not reclaim enough space to fulfill any
tickets, leading to an early ENOSPC. (Reservation tickets don't care
about being able to overcommit, they need every byte accounted for.)
Fix it by getting rid of the shortcut so that shrink_delalloc() reclaims
all of the metadata it is supposed to. This fixes early ENOSPCs we were
seeing when doing a btrfs receive to populate a new filesystem, as well
as early ENOSPCs Christoph saw when doing a big cp -r onto Btrfs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
