[PATCH 2/6] xfs: do not immediately reuse busy extent ranges

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

 



Every time we reallocate a busy extent, we cause a synchronous log force
to occur to ensure the freeing transaction is on disk before we continue
and use the newly allocated extent.  This is extremely sub-optimal as we
have to mark every transaction with blocks that get reused as synchronous.

Instead of searching the busy extent list after deciding on the extent to
allocate, check each candidate extent during the allocation decisions as
to whether they are in the busy list.  If they are in the busy list, we
trim the busy range out of the extent we have found and determine if that
trimmed range is still OK for allocation. In many cases, this check can
be incorporated into the allocation extent alignment code which already
does trimming of the found extent before determining if it is a valid
candidate for allocation.

Based on two earlier patches from Dave Chinner.
