There are currently multiple levels of fall back if an RT allocation
can not be satisfied:
1) xfs_rtallocate_extent extends the minlen and reduces the maxlen due
to the extent size hint. If that can't be done, it return -ENOSPC
and let's xfs_bmap_rtalloc retry, which then not only drops the
extent size hint based alignment, but also the minlen adjustment
2) if xfs_rtallocate_extent gets -ENOSPC from the underlying functions,
it only drops the extent size hint based alignment and retries
3) if that still does not succeed, xfs_rtallocate_extent drops the
extent size hint (which is a complex no-op at this point) and the
minlen using the same code as (1) above
4) if that still doesn't success and the caller wanted an allocation
near a blkno, drop that blkno hint.
The handling in 1 is rather inefficient as we could just drop the
alignment and continue, and 2/3 interact in really weird ways due to
the duplicate policy.
Move aligning the min and maxlen out of xfs_rtallocate_extent and into
a helper called directly by xfs_bmap_rtalloc. This allows just
continuing with the allocation if we have to drop the alignment instead
of going through the retry loop and also dropping the perfectly usable
minlen adjustment that didn't cause the problem, and then just use
a single retry that drops both the minlen and alignment requirement
when we really are out of space, thus consolidating cases (2) and (3)
above.

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.
