    xfs: borrow indirect blocks from freed extent when available · d34999c9

    xfs_bmap_del_extent() handles extent removal from the in-core and
    on-disk extent lists. When removing a delalloc range, it updates the
    indirect block reservation appropriately based on the removal. It
    currently enforces that the new indirect block reservation is less than
    or equal to the original. This is normally the case in all situations
    except for in certain cases when the removed range creates a hole in a
    single delalloc extent, thus splitting a single delalloc extent in two.
    
    It is possible with small enough extents to split an indlen==1 extent
    into two such slightly smaller extents. This leaves one extent with 0
    indirect blocks and leads to assert failures in other areas (e.g.,
    xfs_bunmapi() if the extent happens to be removed).
    
    Update the indlen distribution code to steal blocks from the deleted
    extent, if necessary, to satisfy the worst case total indirect
    reservation for the new extents. This is safe as the caller does not
    update the fdblocks counters until the extent is removed. Blocks stolen
    in this manner simply remain accounted as allocated, having ownership
    transferred from the data extent to an indirect reservation.
    
    As a precaution, fall back to the original reservation algorithm if the
    new indlen requirement is not met and warn if we end up with extents
    without any reservation at all to detect this more easily in the future.
