I'm seeing assert failures from xlog_space_left() after a shutdown has begun that look like: XFS (dm-0): log I/O error -5 XFS (dm-0): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x2) called from line 1338 of file fs/xfs/xfs_log.c. Return address = xlog_ioend_work+0x64/0xc0 XFS (dm-0): Log I/O Error Detected. XFS (dm-0): Shutting down filesystem. Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s) XFS (dm-0): xlog_space_left: head behind tail XFS (dm-0): tail_cycle = 6, tail_bytes = 2706944 XFS (dm-0): GH cycle = 6, GH bytes = 1633867 XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log.c, line: 1310 ------------[ cut here ]------------ Call Trace: xlog_space_left+0xc3/0x110 xlog_grant_push_threshold+0x3f/0xf0 xlog_grant_push_ail+0x12/0x40 xfs_log_reserve+0xd2/0x270 ? __might_sleep+0x4b/0x80 xfs_trans_reserve+0x18b/0x260 ..... There are two things here. Firstly, after a shutdown, the log head and tail can be out of whack as things abort and release (or don't release) resources, so checking them for sanity doesn't make much sense. Secondly, xfs_log_reserve() can race with shutdown and so it can still fail like this even though it has already checked for a log shutdown before calling xlog_grant_push_ail(). So, before ASSERT failing in xlog_space_left(), make sure we haven't already shut down....

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.
