Revision ea0174a7137c8ca9f130ca681f3a99c872da6778 authored by Eric Sandeen on 13 October 2009, 02:34:27 UTC, committed by Jan Kara on 11 November 2009, 14:22:49 UTC
On a 256M 4k block filesystem, doing this in a loop:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test oflag=direct bs=1M count=64
    rm -f test

eventually leads to spurious ENOSPC:

    dd: writing `test': No space left on device

As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

A similar patch went into ext4 (commit
fbbf69456619de5d251cb9f1df609069178c62d5)
