PATCH v2 1/3 btrfs: Test if btrfs hits EDQUOT without trying to reclaim some space

Commit a514d63882c3 ("btrfs: qgroup: Commit transaction in advance to reduce early EDQUOT") is no longer forcing transaction commit to reclaim space, and only commits transaction asynchronously in advance to address it.

However the criteria used in async transaction commit is not comprehensive, thus it doesn't reclaim space automatically.

This test case will check the behavior by:
1) Falloc a large padding file
This file will take 90% of the qgroup limit

2) Sync the fs
To reflect the qgroup changes

3) Delete the file
Qgroup won't reclaim the space until transaction committed.

4) Try to write a file
If kernel not fixed, qgroup will not automatically commit transaction to reclaim the freed space and hit EDQUOT.

This bug is going to be fixed by a patch for kernel titled:
"btrfs: qgroup: Make qgroup async transaction commit more aggressive".

---
changelog:
v2:
- Grammar and typo fixes.
- Remove unnecessary filter for falloc.
- Append '-f' option for rm.

PATCH v3 2/3 btrfs: Test if btrfs will commit too many transactions for balance

Kernel commit 64403612b73a ("btrfs: rework btrfs_check_space_for_delayed_refs") is introducing a regression for btrfs balance performance.

Since that commit will cause btrfs to commit too many transactions for nothing during balance/relocation, it will slow balance dramatically even we only need to relocate several megabytes.

This test case will catch the problem by using super block generation as failure criteria.
For small chunk relocated, we will commit 6 transactions for each block group, and the test case should only have 2 block groups, it should only commit 12 transactions.

This test case will use 120 as the threshold to detect the failure.

And in my test environment, with kernel fix btrfs committed 14 transactions.
While without the fix btrfs committed 209 transactions.

So the test case should be enough to detect the regression, while still keep the runtime small enough for failure.

---
changelog:
v2:
- Remove the unnecessary workaround for ENOSPC balance Since we know the cause of that false ENOSPC error, a simple sync would be enough to take care of the problem

- Remove unnecessary mount option of max_inline
The same reason above.

v3:
- Remove unused variable.
- Grammar and type fixes.
- Full subcommand name for 'btrfs' command.
- Always check output for get_super_gen().

PATCH v2 3/3 btrfs: Test if btrfs will report false ENOSPC error balancing small metadata chunk

In reply to Qu Wenruo

This is a test case for a long existing bug, caused by over-estimated metadata space_info::bytes_may_use.

There is one proposed patch for btrfs-progs to fix it, titled:
"btrfs-progs: balance: Sync the fs before balancing metadata chunks"

The test case itself is almost the same as btrfs/181, which uses small files to bump the reserved space to trigger the false alert.

---
changelog:
v2:
- Grammar and type fixes.
- Use full subcommand name for 'btrfs' command.
