I know you are just copying other code, but what we really need to
do here is get rid of all these magic "128" numbers in the
transaction reservations.

What the 128 is actually reserving is space for the
struct xfs_buf_log_format that gets written into the log for every
buffer. i.e. the space needed for this structure:

struct xfs_buf_log_format {
        short unsigned int         blf_type;             /*     0     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_size;             /*     2     2 */
        ushort                     blf_flags;            /*     4     2 */
        ushort                     blf_len;              /*     6     2 */
        __int64_t                  blf_blkno;            /*     8     8 */
        unsigned int               blf_map_size;         /*    16     4 */
        unsigned int               blf_data_map[16];     /*    20    64 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 20 bytes ago --- */

        /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

It's rounded up to give a little bit of extra space because there's
it also needs a log opheader:

struct xlog_op_header {
        __be32                     oh_tid;               /*     0     4 */
        __be32                     oh_len;               /*     4     4 */
        __u8                       oh_clientid;          /*     8     1 */
        __u8                       oh_flags;             /*     9     1 */
        __u16                      oh_res2;              /*    10     2 */

        /* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
        /* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
};

So there's at least 100 bytes of extra information per buffer that
needs to be recorded with the buffer itself. Rounding it up to 128
bytes is probably just fine, though it should probably be done
programatically rather than hand coded.

As such I'd like to see this sort of thing encoded in a macro or
inline function so the above code becomes something like:

	return mp->m_sb.sb_sectsize + xfs_buf_log_overhead(mp);


and

/*
 * A buffer has a format structure overhead in the log in addition
 * to the data, so we need to take this into account when reserving
 * space in a transaction for a buffer. Round the space required up
 * to a multiple of 128 bytes so that we don't change the historical
 * reservation that has ben used for this overhead.
 */
static inline int
xfs_buf_log_overhead()
{
	return round_up(sizeof(struct xlog_op_header) +
			sizeof(struct xfs_buf_log_format), 128);
}

Cheers,

Dave.
