Title:
Backport btrfs enospc rework (from kernel 4.8)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There are two btrfs related patches available for kernel 4.8 which
improve latency and solve problems with low free disk space:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ba929b6646c5b87c7bb15cd8d3e51617725c983b
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d58b0d980f0b1c27204da0e05537b606da45a07f

Neuerungen-von-Linux-4-8-3283402.html
From my side, I encountered problems with full disks in btrfs multiple
times. I reported some of them in the past.
Plus do I have another system with 2x3TB of disk space (WD HDDs),
while btrfs sits on top of a dm-raid and LUKS crypto. I experience
very slow disk I/O on that system while disk usage gets fuller and
fuller (combined with lots of subvolumes and layered devices, so that
could be another reason).
That said, I guess that, according to the article at heise and commit
messages, the two patches have a tremendous impact on performance.
Plus, should the patches fix some of the problems that happen together
with full disks ("ENOSPC" issues).
Now that the patches make it into the upstream kernel, I think that
the developers have had some reason to do so. For the moment, I can't
test if it actually improves something for me.
Would still be great to have these patches backported to
- ubuntu 16.04 Kernel 4.4
- ubuntu 14.04 LTS Kernel 4.4
