From f77dd0d6b2f0f2cf290cacbd48f5eee18586e52b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sterba Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 02:55:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: preallocate compression workspaces Preallocate one workspace for each compression type so we can guarantee forward progress in the worst case. A failure cannot be a hard error as we might not use compression at all on the filesystem. If we can't allocate the workspaces later when need them, it might actually deadlock, but in such situation the system has effectively not enough memory to operate properly.
