Hi Greg,

The following list of LTP syscalls failure noticed on qemu-arm64 with
stable-rc 6.16.1-rc1 with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y build configuration.

Most failures report ENOSPC (28) or mkswap errors, which may be related
to disk space handling in the 64K page configuration on qemu-arm64.

The issue is reproducible on multiple runs.

* qemu-arm64, ltp-syscalls - 64K page size test failures list,

  - fallocate04
  - fallocate05
  - fdatasync03
  - fsync01
  - fsync04
  - ioctl_fiemap01
  - swapoff01
  - swapoff02
  - swapon01
  - swapon02
  - swapon03
  - sync01
  - sync_file_range02
  - syncfs01

Reproducibility:
 - 64K config above listed test fails
 - 4K config above listed test pass.

Regression Analysis:
- New regression? yes

Regression from 6.16?  Or just from 6.15.y?

Based on available data, the issue is not present in v6.16 or v6.15.

Anders, bisected this regression and found,

Great, and that's also affecting 6.17-rc1 so we are "bug compatible"?
:)

Hi,

This issue has already fixed in 6.17-rc1 through this series:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/20250707140814.542883-1-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com/ (local)


To fix this issue in 6.16, it's necessary to backport the whole series
instead of just pick 5137d6c8906b ("ext4: fix insufficient credits
calculation in ext4_meta_trans_blocks()") and 95ad8ee45cdb {"ext4: correct
the reserved credits for extent conversion").  Otherwise, this will make
the problem more likely to occur.

Thanks, I'll just postpone this one for now.
