From 0c0ef4bc842ba6b593bb94f9fb8b653fe18c5ed8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:43:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: abort the transaction if we fail to update the free space cache inode Our gluster boxes were hitting a problem where they'd run out of space when updating the block group cache and therefore wouldn't be able to update the free space inode. This is a problem because this is how we invalidate the cache and protect ourselves from errors further down the stack, so if this fails we have to abort the transaction so we make sure we don't end up with stale free space cache.
