If we are doing a buffered write in NOWAIT context and we can't reserve
metadata space due to -ENOSPC, then we should return -EAGAIN so that we
retry the write in a context allowed to block and do metadata reservation
with flushing, which might succeed this time due to the allowed flushing.
Returning -ENOSPC while in NOWAIT context simply makes some writes fail
with -ENOSPC when they would likely succeed after switching from NOWAIT
context to blocking context. That is unexpected behaviour and even fio
complains about it with a warning like this:
fio: io_u error on file /mnt/sdi/task_0.0.0: No space left on device: write offset=1535705088, buflen=65536
fio: pid=592630, err=28/file:io_u.c:1846, func=io_u error, error=No space left on device
The fio's job config is this:
[global]
bs=64K
ioengine=io_uring
iodepth=1
size=2236962133
nr_files=1
filesize=2236962133
direct=0
runtime=10
fallocate=posix
io_size=2236962133
group_reporting
time_based
[task_0]
rw=randwrite
directory=/mnt/sdi
numjobs=4
So fix this by returning -EAGAIN if we are in NOWAIT context and the
metadata reservation failed with -ENOSPC.

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.
