Dave reported an issue where generic/102 would sometimes hang. This turned out to be because we'd get into this spot where we were no longer making progress on data reservations because our exit condition was not met. The log is basically while (!space_info->full && !list_empty(&space_info->tickets)) flush_space(space_info, flush_state); where flush state is our various flush states, but doesn't include ALLOC_CHUNK_FORCE. This is because we actually lead with allocating chunks, and so the assumption was that once you got to the actual flushing states you could no longer allocate chunks. This was a stupid assumption, because you could have deleted block groups that would be reclaimed by a transaction commit, thus unsetting space_info->full. This is essentially what happens with generic/102, and so sometimes you'd get stuck in the flushing loop because we weren't allocating chunks, but flushing space wasn't giving us what we needed to make progress. Fix this by adding ALLOC_CHUNK_FORCE to the end of our flushing states, that way we will eventually bail out because we did end up with space_info->full if we free'd a chunk previously. Otherwise, as is the case for this test, we'll allocate our chunk and continue on our happy merry way.

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.
