118 * This function is called when an operation cannot be budgeted because there

120 * o budgeting is pessimistic, so it always budgets more than it is actually
121 * needed, so shrinking the liability is one way to make free space - the
122 * cached data will take less space then it was budgeted for;
123 * o GC may turn some dark space into free space (budgeting treats dark space
124 * as not available);
125 * o commit may free some LEB, i.e., turn freeable LEBs into free LEBs.
127 * So this function tries to do the above. Returns %-EAGAIN if some free space
128 * was presumably made and the caller has to re-try budgeting the operation.

620 * ubifs_reported_space - calculate reported free space.
621 * @c: the UBIFS file-system description object
622 * @free: amount of free space
624 * This function calculates amount of free space which will be reported to
625 * user-space. User-space application tend to expect that if the file-system
626 * (e.g., via the 'statfs()' call) reports that it has N bytes available, they
627 * are able to write a file of size N. UBIFS attaches node headers to each data
628 * node and it has to write indexing nodes as well. This introduces additional
629 * overhead, and UBIFS has to report slightly less free space to meet the above
630 * expectations.
632 * This function assumes free space is made up of uncompressed data nodes and
633 * full index nodes (one per data node, tripled because we always allow enough
634 * space to write the index thrice).
636 * Note, the calculation is pessimistic, which means that most of the time
637 * UBIFS reports less space than it actually has.

648 * Indexing overhead calculations are based on the following formula:
649 * I = N/(f - 1) + 1, where I - number of indexing nodes, N - number
650 * of data nodes, f - fanout. Because effective UBIFS fanout is twice
651 * as less than maximum fanout, we assume that each data node
652 * introduces 3 * @c->max_idx_node_sz / (@c->fanout/2 - 1) bytes.
653 * Note, the multiplier 3 is because UBIFS reserves thrice as more space
654 * for the index.

666 * @c: UBIFS file-system description object
668 * This function calculates amount of free space to report to user-space.
670 * Because UBIFS may introduce substantial overhead (the index, node headers,
671 * alignment, wastage at the end of LEBs, etc), it cannot report real amount of
672 * free flash space it has (well, because not all dirty space is reclaimable,
673 * UBIFS does not actually know the real amount). If UBIFS did so, it would
674 * bread user expectations about what free space is. Users seem to accustomed
675 * to assume that if the file-system reports N bytes of free space, they would
676 * be able to fit a file of N bytes to the FS. This almost works for
677 * traditional file-systems, because they have way less overhead than UBIFS.
678 * So, to keep users happy, UBIFS tries to take the overhead into account.
