      [XFS] remove manual lookup from xfs_rename and simplify locking · cfa853e4
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      ->rename already gets the target inode passed if it exits. Pass it down to
      xfs_rename so that we can avoid looking it up again. Also simplify locking
      as the first lock section in xfs_rename can go away now: the isdir is an
      invariant over the lifetime of the inode, and new_parent and the nlink
      check are namespace topology protected by i_mutex in the VFS. The projid
      check needs to move into the second lock section anyway to not be racy.
      
      Also kill the now unused xfs_dir_lookup_int and remove the now-unused
      first_locked argumet to xfs_lock_inodes.

      [XFS] shrink mrlock_t · 579aa9ca
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      The writer field is not needed for non_DEBU builds so remove it. While
      we're at i also clean up the interface for is locked asserts to go through
      and xfs_iget.c helper with an interface like the xfs_ilock routines to
      isolated the XFS codebase from mrlock internals. That way we can kill
      mrlock_t entirely once rw_semaphores grow an islocked facility. Also
      remove unused flags to the ilock family of functions.

      [XFS] Remove the xfs_icluster structure · bad55843
      David Chinner 提交于
      Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup.
      
      We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as
      we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do
      this now is during inode writeback.
      
      Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it
      to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built
      when we first read in the inodes.
      
      This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster
      structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the
      xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness.
      
      To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to
      stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying
      to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.
      
      Before (ia64):
      
      $ cat /sys/slab/xfs_inode/object_size 536
      
      After:
      
      $ cat /sys/slab/xfs_inode/object_size 512

      [XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodes · a3f74ffb
      David Chinner 提交于
      When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
      buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
      multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.
      
      Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
      writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
      the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
      the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
      dirtied inode.
      
      Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
      and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
      inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
      non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
      blocking or extra I/O being issued.

      [XFS] Radix tree based inode caching · da353b0d
      David Chinner 提交于
      One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
      inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
      only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
      realistic size of the cache.
      
      As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
      needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
      allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
      
      A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
      on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
      cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
      inode hash is causing issues.
      
      The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
      replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
      hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....
