btrfs-progs: Do metadata preallocation for fs trees and csum tree
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In github issues, one user reports unexpected ENOSPC error if enabling
datasum druing convert.  After some investigation, it looks like that
during ext2_saved/image creation, we could create large file extent
whose size can be 128M (max data extent size).

In that case, its csum block will be at least 128K. Under certain case
we need to allocate extra metadata chunks to fulfill such space
requirement.

However we only do metadata prealloc if we're reserving extents for fs
trees.  (we use btrfs_root::ref_cows to determine whether we should do
metadata prealloc, and that member is only set for fs trees).

There is no explaination on why we only do metadata prealloc for file
trees, but from my educated guess, it could be related to avoid nested
extent/chunk tree modication.

At least extent reservation for csum tree shouldn't be a problem with
metadata block group preallocation.

So adding new condition for metadata preallocate to avoid unexpected
ENOSPC problem.

Issue: #123
