Recently we catched ENOSPC returned by make_reservation() while doing
fsstress on UBIFS, we got following information when it occurred (See
details in Link):
UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 3640152): make_reservation [ubifs]: cannot

OTHERS: index lebs, zero-available non-index lebs
According to the budget algorithm, there are 5 LEBs reserved for budget:
three journal heads(16,23,34), 1 GC LEB(21) and 1 deletion LEB(can be
used in make_reservation()). There are 2 empty LEBs used for index nodes,
which is calculated as min_idx_lebs - idx_lebs = 2. In theory, LEB 15
and 33 should be reclaimed as free state after committing, but it is now
in taken state. After looking the realization of reserve_space(), there's
a possible situation:
LEB 15: free 2000 dirty 248000 used 3952 (jhead 2)
LEB 23: free 2000 dirty 248104 used 3848 (bud, taken)

The dirty LEBs could be grabbed by other threads, which fails finding dirty
LEBs of GC in current thread, so make_reservation() could try many times to
invoke GC&&committing, but current realization limits the times of retrying
as 'nospc_retries'(twice).
Fix it by adding a wait queue, start queuing up space reservation tasks
when someone task has retried gc + commit for many times. Then there is
only one task making space reservation at any time, and it can always make
success under the premise of correct budgeting.

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.
