Josef Bacik e1404bf536 btrfs: do not zero f_bavail if we have available space
commit d55966c4279bfc6a0cf0b32bf13f5df228a1eeb6 upstream.

There was some logic added a while ago to clear out f_bavail in statfs()
if we did not have enough free metadata space to satisfy our global
reserve.  This was incorrect at the time, however didn't really pose a
problem for normal file systems because we would often allocate chunks
if we got this low on free metadata space, and thus wouldn't really hit
this case unless we were actually full.

Fast forward to today and now we are much better about not allocating
metadata chunks all of the time.  Couple this with d792b0f19711 ("btrfs:
always reserve our entire size for the global reserve") which now means
we'll easily have a larger global reserve than our free space, we are
now more likely to trip over this while still having plenty of space.

Fix this by skipping this logic if the global rsv's space_info is not
full.  space_info->full is 0 unless we've attempted to allocate a chunk
for that space_info and that has failed.  If this happens then the space
for the global reserve is definitely sacred and we need to report
b_avail == 0, but before then we can just use our calculated b_avail.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
