Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v10 09/10] dm-qcow2: retry R1/R2 writeback that failed with ENOSPC
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 12:58:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109115856.1362416-10-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109115856.1362416-1-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. The suspend flush fires
the timer, which gives the page one more try. A page that still fails
then is not redirtied, as wants_suspend is set, so nothing is left
pending on a suspended device 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.
