Inserting or deleting a record in a btree may require splitting several of its nodes. If we hit ENOSPC halfway through, the new nodes will be left orphaned and their records will be lost. This could mean lost inodes, extents or xattrs. Henceforth, check the available disk space before making any changes. This still leaves the potential problem of corruption on ENOMEM. The patch can be tested with xfstests generic/027. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4596eef22fbda137b4ffa0272d92f0da15364421.1536269129.git.ernesto.mnd.fernandez@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ernesto A.

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.
