[PATCH 0/8] xfs: various fixes and cleanups

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

 



Hi folks,

These are the fixes and cleanups that are part of the non-blocking
inode reclaim series I've (slowly) been working on. These fixes and
cleanups stand alone, many have already been reviewed, and getting
them out of the non-blocking reclaim patchset makes that a much
smaller and easier to digest set of patches.

The changes in this patchset are for:

- limiting the size of checkpoints that the CIL builds to reduce the
  memory it pins and the latency of commits.
- cleaning up the AIL item removal code so we can reduce the number
  of tail LSN updates to prevent unnecessary thundering herd wakeups
- account for reclaimable slab caches in XFS correctly
- account for reclaimed pages from buffers correctly
- avoiding log IO priority inversions
- factoring the inode cluster deletion code to make it more readable
  and easier to modify for the non-blocking inode reclaim mods.

Thoughts, comments and improvemnts welcome.

-Dave.
