    xfs: remove "no-allocation" reservations for file creations · f59cf5c2
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    If we create a new file we will need an inode, and usually some metadata
    in the parent direction.  Aiming for everything to go well despite the
    lack of a reservation leads to dirty transactions cancelled under a heavy
    create/delete load.  This patch removes those nospace transactions, which
    will lead to slightly earlier ENOSPC on some workloads, but instead
    prevent file system shutdowns due to cancelling dirty transactions for
    others.
    
    A customer could observe assertations failures and shutdowns due to
    cancelation of dirty transactions during heavy NFS workloads as shown
    below:
