+*  `dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries`
+
+    Specifies the maximum number of retries XFS should attempt to complete
+    IO when ENOSPC (no space) error is returned by underlying storage device.
+
+    By default XFS retries infinitely for IO to finish and this can result
+    in unkillable process. To change this behavior one can set
+    xfs_nospace_max_retries to say 0 and XFS will not retry IO after getting
+    ENOSPC and will shutdown filesystem.
+
+    Example use:
+
+    ```bash
+    $ dockerd --storage-opt dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries=0
+    ```
