Hi all, This series of log fixes dates back to an earlier discussion that Dave and I had about the weird way that log recovery works w.r.t. intent items. The current code juggles nested transactions so that it can siphon off new deferred items for later; this we replace with a new dfops freezer that captures the log reservation type and remaining block reservation so that we finish the new deferred items with the same transaction context as we would have had the system not gone down. v2: rework the defer capture api per hch suggestions v3: rework the api again, per bfoster suggestions, so now xfs_defer_capture is only responsible for creating the capture device, and log recovery still has to do some work to commit a transaction and free resources v4: kill XFS_LI_RECOVERED and move all the defer capture commit and release code to xfs_defer.c If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees, which are linked below. This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D kernel git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=fix-recovery-intent-chaining-5.10 --- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_defer.c | 127 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_defer.h | 21 +++++++ fs/xfs/xfs_bmap_item.c | 16 +----- fs/xfs/xfs_extfree_item.c | 7 +- fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c | 110 +++++++++++++++++++------------------- fs/xfs/xfs_refcount_item.c | 16 +----- fs/xfs/xfs_rmap_item.c | 7 +- fs/xfs/xfs_trans.h | 7 +- 8 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-)
