[ Upstream commit efc61345274d6c7a46a0570efbc916fcbe3e927b ] When generic/371 is run on kvm-xfstests using 5.10 and 5.11 kernels, it fails at significant rates on the two test scenarios that disable delayed allocation (ext3conv and data_journal) and force actual block allocation for the fallocate and pwrite functions in the test. The failure rate on 5.10 for both ext3conv and data_journal on one test system typically runs about 85%. On 5.11, the failure rate on ext3conv sometimes drops to as low as 1% while the rate on data_journal increases to nearly 100%. The observed failures are largely due to ext4_should_retry_alloc() cutting off block allocation retries when s_mb_free_pending (used to indicate that a transaction in progress will free blocks) is 0. However, free space is usually available when this occurs during runs of generic/371. It appears that a thread attempting to allocate blocks is just missing transaction commits in other threads that increase the free cluster count and reset s_mb_free_pending while the allocating thread isn't running. Explicitly testing for free space availability avoids this race. The current code uses a post-increment operator in the conditional expression that determines whether the retry limit has been exceeded. This means that the conditional expression uses the value of the retry counter before it's increased, resulting in an extra retry cycle. The current code actually retries twice before hitting its retry limit rather than once. Increasing the retry limit to 3 from the current actual maximum retry count of 2 in combination with the change described above reduces the observed failure rate to less that 0.1% on both ext3conv and data_journal with what should be limited impact on users sensitive to the overhead caused by retries. A per filesystem percpu counter exported via sysfs is added to allow users or developers to track the number of times the retry limit is exceeded without resorting to debugging methods. This should provide some insight into worst case retry behavior.

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.
