Hi, Josef I'm digging this issue too, actually xfstests 083 also can trigger this BUG_ON while run loops. and I agreed with Phillip's opinion that we'd better "fix the underlying bug". If the btrfs_truncate faild with ENOSPC, we should not even call btrfs_orphan_del to clean the memory orphan list so that the next orphan item insert will be skipped. But, there is still a trouble. The user will get the fail result while the orphan inode still left in the fs. It's strange. So in the end of the btrfs_truncate, if the btrfs_update_inode is successed, I will delete the orphan inode anyway. what do you think of this idea? I'll make a patch if you do not have any comment. BTW, 083 will always make the btrfs_truncate fail with btrfs_truncate_inode_items for ENOSPC when the disk is almost full. thanks wubo > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in > the body of a message to [email protected] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
