Hi all,
this series switches the log writing and log recovery code to use bios
directly, and remove various special cases from the buffer cache code.
A git tree is available here:
git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/xfs.git xfs-log-bio
Gitweb:
http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/xfs.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xfs-log-bio
Chances since v3:
- add a few additional cleanup patches
- clean up iclog allocation
- drop a not required vmap invalidation
- better document the iclog size fields
- fix vmap invalidation
Changes since v2:
- rename the 'flush' flag to 'need_flush'
- spelling fixes
- minor cleanups
Changes since v1:
- rebased to not required the log item series first
- split the bio-related code out of xfs_log_recover.c into a new file
to ease using xfs_log_recover.c in xfsprogs
- use kmem_alloc_large instead of vmalloc to allocate the buffer
- additional minor cleanups
