David Sterba 207659ef15 btrfs: allow use of global block reserve for balance item deletion
commit 3502a8c0dc1bd4b4970b59b06e348f22a1c05581 upstream.

On a filesystem with exhausted metadata, but still enough to start
balance, it's possible to hit this error:

[324402.053842] BTRFS info (device loop0): 1 enospc errors during balance
[324402.060769] BTRFS info (device loop0): balance: ended with status: -28
[324402.172295] BTRFS: error (device loop0) in reset_balance_state:3321: errno=-28 No space left

It fails inside reset_balance_state and turns the filesystem to
read-only, which is unnecessary and should be fixed too, but the problem
is caused by lack for space when the balance item is deleted. This is a
one-time operation and from the same rank as unlink that is allowed to
use the global block reserve. So do the same for the balance item.

Status of the filesystem (100GiB) just after the balance fails:

$ btrfs fi df mnt
Data, single: total=80.01GiB, used=38.58GiB
System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
Metadata, single: total=19.99GiB, used=19.48GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=50.11MiB

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
