[PATCH 0/7] inode allocator refactoring V2

[PATCH 0/7] inode allocator refactoring V2

[Christoph Hellwig]

This series turns the higher level inode allocator upside down.

The biggest change is that we try to operate on the incore perag
structure as much as possible instead of reading the AGI buffer.

I don't have a system to measure the benefit on the large create benchmarks
right now, but even if it's not benefitial it at least greatly cleans up
the code.

Changes since V1:
  - minor cleanups noted by Dave

Note that this does not collapse the three passes in xfs_dialloc yet -
I tried it and got deadlocks that I haven't fully understood yet.  I plan
to look into them when I get a bit more time.

[PATCH 1/7] xfs: remove xfs_ialloc_find_free

[Christoph Hellwig]

[-- Attachment #1: xfs-kill-xfs_ialloc_find_free --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1162 bytes --]

This function is entirely trivial and only has one caller, so remove it to
simplify the code.

[PATCH 2/7] xfs: split xfs_dialloc

[Christoph Hellwig]

[-- Attachment #1: xfs-split-xfs_dialloc --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 12158 bytes --]

Move the actual allocation once we have selected an allocation group into a
separate helper, and make xfs_dialloc a wrapper around it.

[PATCH 3/7] xfs: remove the alloc_done argument to xfs_dialloc

We can simplify check the IO_agbp pointer for being non-NULL instead of
passing another argument through two layers of function calls.

[PATCH 4/7] xfs: add a short cut to xfs_dialloc for the non-NULL agbp case

[Christoph Hellwig]

[-- Attachment #1: xfs-dialloc-shortcut-second-call --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2581 bytes --]

In this case we already have selected an AG and know it has free space
beause the buffer lock never got released.  Jump directly into xfs_dialloc_ag
and short cut the AG selection loop.

[PATCH 6/7] xfs: do not read the AGI buffer in xfs_dialloc until nessecary

[Christoph Hellwig]

[-- Attachment #1: xfs-dialloc-cleanup-ag-loop-2 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5008 bytes --]

Refactor the AG selection loop in xfs_dialloc to operate on the in-memory
perag data as much as possible.  We only read the AGI buffer once we have
selected an AG to allocate inodes now instead of for every AG considered.

Both function contain the same basic loop over all AGs.  Merge the two

Isn't the agbp locked from the earlier xfs_ialloc_read_agi()?
Do we want to release them before going on to the next AG?

Thank-you,

Not your fault, but the "longest" variable is complicated to understand.

same line of thought as above:


+		if (!pag->pagf_init) {
+			int flags = pass ? 0 : XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_TRYLOCK;
+
+			error = xfs_alloc_pagf_init(mp, tp, agno, flags);
+			if (error)
+				goto out_error;
+		}

Also, don't we still have the AGI buffer locked when we try to
initialize the AGF? If the AGF initialization fails, do we need to also
unlock the AGI buffer before returning?

Thank-you.

[PATCH 4/7] xfs: add a short cut to xfs_dialloc for the non-NULL agbp case

[Christoph Hellwig]

[-- Attachment #1: xfs-dialloc-shortcut-second-call --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2571 bytes --]

In this case we already have selected an AG and know it has free space
beause the buffer lock never got released.  Jump directly into xfs_dialloc_ag
and short cut the AG selection loop.
