Hi all, Here's a couple patches to add the log recovery delay instrumentation required for reproducing the log recovery buf race problem uncovered by Alex: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-08/msg00155.html It looked easier to dump this tunable in /proc, but it seems like we want to move away from adding more things there. This series defines a generic sys/fs/xfs/debug location to serve a similar purpose and exports the log recovery delay tunable therein. The original problem is now easily reproduced with a 10s or so log recovery delay and the xfstests test I posted the other day: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-08/msg00261.html One thing that comes to mind as I write this is whether it might be a good idea to only export this debug subdirectory for DEBUG enabled kernels. Thoughts? Any other thoughts, reviews or flames are appreciated as well.
