[RFC v2 PATCH 00/10] dm-thin/xfs: prototype a block reservation allocation model

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

This is v2 of the XFS and block device reservation experiment. The
significant changes in v2 are that the bdev interface has been condensed
to a single callback function, the XFS transaction reservation
management has been reworked to make transactions responsible for
tracking and releasing excess reservation (for non-delalloc cases) and a
workaround for the fallocate over-reservation issue is included. Beyond
that, this version adds a bunch of miscellaneous cleanups and fixes some
of the nastier locking/leak issues present in the first rfc.

Patches 1-2 refactor some XFS reserve pool and block accounting code in
preparation for subsequent patches. Patches 3-5 add block/device-mapper
reservation support. Patches 6-10 add the core reservation
infrastructure and management bits to XFS. See the link to the original
rfc below for instructions and further details around the purpose of
this series.

Finally, note that this is still highly experimental/theoretical and
should not be used on production systems. Thoughts, reviews, flames
appreciated.

Brian

rfcv2:
- Rebased to 4.6.0-rc3.
- Fix compile warnings reported by kbuild.
- Fix reservation leakage on fs ENOSPC.
- Fix mod_fdblocks locking to avoid BUG() (still racy).
- Fix XFS reserve block ENOSPC handling.
- Kill block wrappers, condense get/set/provision to a single callback.
- Update XFS transaction to track reservation, don't release excess on
  provision.
- Add transaction noblkres mode, use for fallocate reservation
  optimization.
