When doing an fallocate(), specially a zero range operation, we assume
that reserving 3 units of metadata space is enough, that at most we touch
one leaf in subvolume/fs tree for removing existing file extent items and
inserting a new file extent item. This assumption is generally true for
most common use cases. However when we end up needing to remove file extent
items from multiple leaves, we can end up failing with -ENOSPC and abort
the current transaction, turning the filesystem to RO mode. When this
happens a stack trace like the following is dumped in dmesg/syslog:

[ 1500.621167] BTRFS: error (device sdj) in __btrfs_prealloc_file_range:9724: errno=-28 No space left
When we use fallocate() internally, for reserving an extent for a space
cache, inode cache or relocation, we can't hit this problem since either
there aren't any file extent items to remove from the subvolume tree or
there is at most one.
When using plain fallocate() it's very unlikely, since that would require
having many file extent items representing holes for the target range and
crossing multiple leafs - we attempt to increase the range (merge) of such
file extent items when punching holes, so at most we end up with 2 file
extent items for holes at leaf boundaries.
However when using the zero range operation of fallocate() for a large
range (100+ MiB for example) that's fairly easy to trigger. The following
example reproducer triggers the issue:
$ cat reproducer.sh
#!/bin/bash
umount /dev/sdj &> /dev/null
mkfs.btrfs -f -n 16384 -O ^no-holes /dev/sdj > /dev/null
mount /dev/sdj /mnt/sdj
# Create a 100M file with many file extent items. Punch a hole every 8K
# just to speedup the file creation - we could do 4K sequential writes
# followed by fsync (or O_SYNC) as well, but that takes a lot of time.
file_size=$((100 * 1024 * 1024))
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 10M 0 $file_size" /mnt/sdj/foobar
for ((i = 0; i < $file_size; i += 8192)); do
xfs_io -c "fpunch $i 4096" /mnt/sdj/foobar
done
# Force a transaction commit, so the zero range operation will be forced
# to COW all metadata extents it need to touch.
sync
xfs_io -c "fzero 0 $file_size" /mnt/sdj/foobar
umount /mnt/sdj
$ ./reproducer.sh
wrote 104857600/104857600 bytes at offset 0
100 MiB, 10 ops; 0.0669 sec (1.458 GiB/sec and 149.3117 ops/sec)
fallocate: No space left on device
$ dmesg
<shows the same stack trace pasted before>
To fix this use the existing infrastructure that hole punching and
extent cloning use for replacing a file range with another extent. This
deals with doing the removal of file extent items and inserting the new
one using an incremental approach, reserving more space when needed and
always ensuring we don't leave an implicit hole in the range in case
we need to do multiple iterations and a crash happens between iterations.
A test case for fstests will follow up soon.
