[BUG] When the data space is exhausted, even if the inode has NOCOW attribute, we will still refuse to truncate unaligned range due to ENOSPC. The following script can reproduce it pretty easily: #!/bin/bash dev=/dev/test/test mnt=/mnt/btrfs umount $dev &> /dev/null umount $mnt &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $dev -b 1G mount -o nospace_cache $dev $mnt touch $mnt/foobar chattr +C $mnt/foobar xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -b 4k 0 4k" $mnt/foobar > /dev/null xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -b 4k 0 1G" $mnt/padding &> /dev/null sync xfs_io -c "fpunch 0 2k" $mnt/foobar umount $mnt Currently this will fail at the fpunch part. [CAUSE] Because btrfs_truncate_block() always reserves space without checking the NOCOW attribute. Since the writeback path follows NOCOW bit, we only need to bother the space reservation code in btrfs_truncate_block(). [FIX] Make btrfs_truncate_block() follow btrfs_buffered_write() to try to reserve data space first, and fall back to NOCOW check only when we don't have enough space. Such always-try-reserve is an optimization introduced in btrfs_buffered_write(), to avoid expensive btrfs_check_can_nocow() call. This patch will export check_can_nocow() as btrfs_check_can_nocow(), and use it in btrfs_truncate_block() to fix the problem.

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.
