[PATCH] CacheFiles: Handle ENOSPC on create/mkdir better

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Handle ENOSPC on create/mkdir calls to the backing filesystem better.  Rather
than returning it to FS-Cache or FS-Cache returning it to the netfs, it is
converted into ENOBUFS.

This can be reproduced by setting up a very small cache, for example with:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/fakedisc bs=10240 count=1024
	mke2fs -j /root/fakedisc 
	tune2fs -o user_xattr /root/fakedisc 
	mount -o loop /root/fakedisc /var/fscache/
	cachefilesd

And then running a "find" over a few thousand NFS files on an NFS share that's
mounted with "-o fsc".  This will eventually run the cache out of free inodes,
and ENOSPC will be returned by Ext3, yielding a lot of these messages in the
kernel log:

	FS-Cache: error from cache: -28
