[PATCH] xfstests: create a test for xfs log grant head leak detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Changes in the XFS logging code have lead to small leaks in the log
grant heads that consume log space slowly over time. Such problems have
gone undetected for an unnecessarily long time due to code complexity
and potential for very subtle problems. Losing only a few bytes per
logged item on a reasonably large enough fs (10s of GB) means only the
most continuously stressful workloads will cause a severe enough failure
(deadlock due to log reservation exhaustion) quickly enough to indicate
something is seriously wrong.

Recent changes in XFS export the state of the various log heads through
sysfs to aid in userspace/runtime analysis of the log. This test runs a
workload against an XFS filesystem, quiesces the fs and verifies that
the log reserve and write grant heads have not leaked any space with
respect to the current head of the physical log.
