We've done this forever because of the voodoo around knowing how much space we have. However, we have better ways of doing this now, and on normal file systems we'll easily have a global reserve of 512MiB, and since metadata chunks are usually 1GiB that means we'll allocate metadata chunks more readily. Instead use the actual used amount when determining if we need to allocate a chunk or not. This has a side effect for mixed block group fs'es where we are no longer allocating enough chunks for the data/metadata requirements. To deal with this add a ALLOC_CHUNK_FORCE step to the flushing state machine. This will only get used if we've already made a full loop through the flushing machinery and tried committing the transaction. If we have then we can try and force a chunk allocation since we likely need it to make progress. This resolves issues I was seeing with the mixed bg tests in xfstests without the new flushing state.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
