Subject: [PATCH 5.8 026/232] btrfs: relocation: review the call sites which can be interrupted by signal

From: Qu Wenruo <wqu@...e.com>

commit 44d354abf33e92a5e73b965c84caf5a5d5e58a0b upstream.

Since most metadata reservation calls can return -EINTR when get
interrupted by fatal signal, we need to review the all the metadata
reservation call sites.

In relocation code, the metadata reservation happens in the following
sites:

- btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in merge_reloc_root()
  merge_reloc_root() is a pretty critical section, we don't want to be
  interrupted by signal, so change the flush status to
  BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT, so it won't get interrupted by signal.
  Since such change can be ENPSPC-prone, also shrink the amount of
  metadata to reserve least amount avoid deadly ENOSPC there.

- btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in reserve_metadata_space()
  It calls with BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT, which won't get interrupted
  by signal.

- btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in prepare_to_relocate()

- btrfs_block_rsv_add() in prepare_to_relocate()

- btrfs_block_rsv_refill() in relocate_block_group()

- btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata() in relocate_file_extent_cluster()

- btrfs_start_transaction() in relocate_block_group()

- btrfs_start_transaction() in create_reloc_inode()
  Can be interrupted by fatal signal and we can handle it easily.
  For these call sites, just catch the -EINTR value in btrfs_balance()
  and count them as canceled.
