From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Recent changes to the log size scaling have resulted in using the default size multiplier for the log size even on small filesystems. Commit 88cd79b ("xfs: Add xfs_log_rlimit.c") changed the calculation of the maximum transaction size that the kernel would issues and that significantly increased the minimum size of the default log. As such the size of the log on small filesystems was typically larger than the prefious default, even though the previous default was still larger than the minimum needed. Rework the default log size calculation such that it will use the original log size default if it is larger than the minimum log size required, and only use a larger log if the configuration of the filesystem requires it. This is especially obvious in xfs/216, where the default log size is 10MB all the way up to 16GB filesystems. The current mkfs selects a log size of 50MB for the same size filesystems and this is unnecessarily large. Return the scaling of the log size for small filesystems to something similar to what xfs/216 expects.
