Heads up... I was doing some testing against my eofblocks set rebased
against this patchset and I'm reproducing a new 273 failure. The failure
bisects down to this patch.

With the bisection, I'm running xfs top of tree plus the following patch:

xfs: only update the last_sync_lsn when a transaction completes

... and patches 1-6 of this set on top of that. i.e.:

xfs: xfs_sync_data is redundant.
xfs: Bring some sanity to log unmounting
xfs: sync work is now only periodic log work
xfs: don't run the sync work if the filesystem is read-only
xfs: rationalise xfs_mount_wq users
xfs: xfs_syncd_stop must die
xfs: only update the last_sync_lsn when a transaction completes
xfs: Make inode32 a remountable option

This is on a 16p (according to /proc/cpuinfo) x86-64 system with 32GB
RAM. The test and scratch volumes are both 500GB lvm volumes on top of a
hardware raid. I haven't looked into this at all yet but I wanted to
drop it on the list for now. The 273 output is attached.

I see it too on a single machine. It looks like an interaction between patch 06 and the "...update the last_sync_lsn...".

I like the "...update the last_sync_lsn ..." patch because it fixes the "xlog_verify_tail_lsn: tail wrapped" and "xlog_verify_tail_lsn: ran out of log space" messages that I am getting on that machine.

--Mark.
