xfs: refactor xfs_reserve_blocks() to handle ENOSPC correctly
xfs_reserve_blocks() is responsible to update the XFS reserved block pool count at mount time or based on user request. When the caller requests to increase the reserve pool, blocks must be allocated from the global counters such that they are no longer available for general purpose use. If the requested reserve pool size is too large, XFS reserves what blocks are available. The implementation requires looking at the percpu counters and making an educated guess as to how many blocks to try and allocate from xfs_mod_fdblocks(), which can return -ENOSPC if the guess was not accurate due to counters being modified in parallel. xfs_reserve_blocks() retries the guess in this scenario until the allocation succeeds or it is determined that there is no space available in the fs. While not easily reproducible in the current form, the retry code doesn't actually work correctly if xfs_mod_fdblocks() actually fails. The problem is that the percpu calculations use the m_resblks counter to determine how many blocks to allocate, but unconditionally update m_resblks before the block allocation has actually succeeded. Therefore, if xfs_mod_fdblocks() fails, the code jumps to the retry label and uses the already updated m_resblks value to determine how many blocks to try and allocate. If the percpu counters previously suggested that the entire request was available, fdblocks_delta could end up set to 0. In that case, m_resblks is updated to the requested value, yet no blocks have been reserved at all. Refactor xfs_reserve_blocks() to use an explicit loop and make the code easier to follow. Since we have to drop the spinlock across the xfs_mod_fdblocks() call, use a delta value for m_resblks as well and only apply the delta once allocation succeeds.
