Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v11 09/10] dm-qcow2: retry R1/R2 writeback that failed with ENOSPC
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 15:01:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109140143.1408038-10-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109140143.1408038-1-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>

A failed R1/R2 writeback sets MD_WRITEBACK_ERROR and drops MD_DIRTY.
Nothing writes the page again unless its refcounts change. On suspend
the md writeback flush finds the error and sets md_writeback_error, so
resume is refused until the image is checked and the target reloaded,
even if the failure was a transient ENOSPC of the underlying fs and
the space has been freed since.

Redirty the page on -ENOSPC, so the slow writeback timer retries it,
as data writes delayed on ENOSPC are retried. Flushing deferred md
activity on suspend, merge and target destruction fires the timer,
which gives the page one more try. A page that still fails then is not
redirtied, so no timer is left armed after the flush, before the image
is freed, and md_writeback_error is set as before.

complete_metadata_writeback() turned every failed write into -EIO.
Pass the errno of the write through and keep -EIO for a short write.
A data request depending on a failed L1/L2 write then ends with
BLK_STS_NOSPC and is delayed and resubmitted like any other write
failing with ENOSPC, as already happens when fsync fails with it.
