From 06d5a5899d6d3ac401d2359b5eac6d2a3a0fe331 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 11:57:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: only retry transaction reservation once I saw a lockup where we kept getting into this start transaction->commit transaction loop because of enospce. The fact is if we fail to make our reservation, we've tried _everything_ several times, so we only need to try and commit the transaction once, and if that doesn't work then we really are out of space and need to just exit.
