Hello,

Here is the v2 patch set of killing hard-coded number 128 which is used to indicate
the extra log space reservation for almost all of those transactions.

In this round, I also tried to convert some transactions to pre-calculate out the
space log reservation from runtime to mount time so that we can make the code related
to xfs_trans_reserve() looks a bit neat and reduce a bit performance overhead(basically
can be ignored. :)) IMHO, which were includes: super block quota flags changes,
quota off/end of quota off, adjust quota limits, quota allocations, log dummy1,
log super block counters, log super block units/fields, as well as set attributes.


Changes of v2 to v1:
- use xfs_calc_buf_res() to calulate out the space log reservation per item.

Old patches:

Hi Jeff,

I did a quick read of the series and it looks good.

Any reason to have separate constants for:

  XFS_SYNC_ICSBCOUNT_LOG_RES(mp)
  XFS_SYNC_ICSBUNIT_LOG_RES(mp)
  XFS_LOG_DUMMY1_LOG_RES(mp)

since they are the same value and are all superblock operations.

Right - they can all use the same "XFS_SB_LOG_RES(mp)" reservation.

FWIW, using the notiation "ICSB" is wrong here. ICSB is short for
"in-core superblock" (i.e. in memory) but transactions are used for
modifying the on-disk superblock. They are two separate things, so
let's make sure we get the terminology right. ;)
Since those transactions are used for changing the on-disk super block,
how about naming this transaction to XFS_UPDATE_SB_LOG_RES(mp) and
introduce a corresponding mp->m_reservations.tr_updatesb?
Does this sounds more meaningful?

Thanks,
-Jeff


I like the simpler "XFS_SB_LOG_RES(mp)". It follows the existing names.
