Description

We're meant to allow the MDS to write even when the OSDs think they're full, so that we can journal file deletions (OSD.cc:6941). However, we don't get as far as that check because there is a check on the client side (Objecter.cc:1266) that pauses writes when the OSD map has the full flag. The MDS log shows a bunch of "FULL, paused modify" log messages when the filesystem fills up, and all client ops are blocked.

In the absence of anything smarter, I guess we need to add a similar special case to the fullness check in Objecter to allow MDS writes through.
