Apart from the fact this may well propagate -EAGAIN up to userspace, cancelling a dirty transaction at this point will result in a filesystem shutdown.... Indeed, this can happen in the "simple" timestamp update case that this "nowait" semantic is being aimed at. We log the inode in the timestamp update, which dirties the log item and registers a precommit operation to be run. We commit the transaction, which then runs xfs_inode_item_precommit() and that may need to attach the inode to the inode cluster buffer. This results in: xfs_inode_item_precommit xfs_imap_to_bp xfs_trans_read_buf_map _xfs_trans_bjoin xfs_buf_item_init(XFS_TRANS_NOWAIT) kmem_cache_zalloc(GFP_NOFS) <memory allocation fails> gets -EAGAIN error propagates -EAGAIN fails due to -EAGAIN And now xfs_trans_commit() fails with a dirty transaction and the filesystem shuts down. IOWs, XFS_TRANS_NOWAIT as it stands is fundamentally broken. Once we dirty an item in a transaction, we *cannot* back out of the transaction. We *must block* in every place that could fail - locking, memory allocation and/or IO - until the transaction completes because we cannot undo the changes we've already made to the dirty items in the transaction.... It's even worse than that - once we have committed intents, the whole chain of intent processing must be run to completionr. Hence we can't tolerate backing out of that defered processing chain half way through because we might have to block. Until we can roll back partial dirty transactions and partially completed defered intent chains at any random point of completion, XFS_TRANS_NOWAIT will not work. -Dave.
