Currently xfs_log_move_tail has a tail_lsn argument that is horribly overloaded: it may contain either an actual lsn to assign to the log tail, 0 as a special case to use the last sync LSN, or 1 to indicate that no tail LSN assignment should be performed, and we should opportunisticly wake up at least one task waiting for log space.
I read the code as opportunistically waking at MOST one task per call.
Remove the tail lsn assigned from xfs_log_move_tail and make the two callers use xlog_assign_tail_lsn instead of the current variant of partially using the code in xfs_log_move_tail and partially opencoding it. Note that means we grow an addition lock roundtrip on the AIL lock for each bulk update or delete, which is still far less than what we had before introducing the bulk operations. If this proves to be a problem we can still add a variant of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that expects the lock to be held already.
Just looking at it the additional unlock/lock sequence did not appear too major.
Also rename the remainder of xfs_log_move_tail to xfs_log_space_wake as that name describes its functionality much better.

Looks great. Just to be consistent, you could call the above as: + xfs_log_space_wake(ailp->xa_mount, true); Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@xxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
