+ * Per-AG Block Reservations
+ *
+ * For some kinds of allocation group metadata structures, it is advantageous
+ * to reserve a small number of blocks in each AG so that future expansions of
+ * that data structure do not encounter ENOSPC because errors during a btree
+ * split cause the filesystem to go offline.
+ *
+ * Prior to the introduction of reflink, this wasn't an issue because the free
+ * space btrees maintain a reserve of space (the AGFL) to handle any expansion
+ * that may be necessary; and allocations of other metadata (inodes, BMBT,
+ * dir/attr) aren't restricted to a single AG.  However, with reflink it is
+ * possible to allocate all the space in an AG, have subsequent reflink/CoW
+ * activity expand the refcount btree, and discover that there's no space left
+ * to handle that expansion.  Since we can calculate the maximum size of the
+ * refcount btree, we can reserve space for it and avoid ENOSPC.
+ *
+ * Handling per-AG reservations consists of three changes to the allocator's
+ * behavior:  First, because these reservations are always needed, we decrease
+ * the ag_max_usable counter to reflect the size of the AG after the reserved
+ * blocks are taken.  Second, the reservations must be reflected in the
+ * fdblocks count to maintain proper accounting.  Third, each AG must maintain
+ * its own reserved block counter so that we can calculate the amount of space
+ * that must remain free to maintain the reservations.  Fourth, the "remaining
+ * reserved blocks" count must be used when calculating the length of the
+ * longest free extent in an AG and to clamp maxlen in the per-AG allocation
+ * functions.  In other words, we maintain a virtual allocation via in-core
+ * accounting tricks so that we don't have to clean up after a crash. :)
+ *
+ * Reserved blocks can be managed by passing one of the enum xfs_ag_resv_type
+ * values via struct xfs_alloc_arg or directly to the xfs_free_extent
+ * function.  It might seem a little funny to maintain a reservoir of blocks
+ * to feed another reservoir, but the AGFL only holds enough blocks to get
+ * through the next transaction.  The per-AG reservation is to ensure (we
+ * hope) that each AG never runs out of blocks.  Each data structure wanting
+ * to use the reservation system should update ask/used in xfs_ag_resv_init.
+ */
