From 15f04fdc75aaaa1cccb0b8b3af1be290e118a7bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2022 10:56:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: remove infinite loop when reserving free block pool Infinite loops in kernel code are scary. Calls to xfs_reserve_blocks should be rare (people should just use the defaults!) so we really don't need to try so hard. Simplify the logic here by removing the infinite loop.
