Re: [PATCH] xfs: gut error handling in xfs_trans_unreserve_and_mod_sb()

Hi Dave,

It has been tested on my 128 cores server and the performance is good.
the cpu usage of __percpu_counter_sum down from 7.74% to 0% andthe directory
creation and directory removal performance increase 10%+, file creation and
removal also increase about 5%, the result as follows:

Without the patch:
