2008-02-07[XFS] Fix inode allocation latencyDavid Chinner
The log force added in xfs_iget_core() has been a performance issue since it was introduced for tight loops that allocate then unlink a single file. under heavy writeback, this can introduce unnecessary latency due tothe log I/o getting stuck behind bulk data writes. Fix this latency problem by avoinding the need for the log force by moving the place we mark linux inode dirty to the transaction commit rather than on transaction completion. This also closes a potential hole in the sync code where a linux inode is not dirty between the time it is modified and the time the log buffer has been written to disk.

2008-02-07[XFS] kill xfs_iocore_tChristoph Hellwig
xfs_iocore_t is a structure embedded in xfs_inode. Except for one field it just duplicates fields already in xfs_inode, and there is nothing this abstraction buys us on XFS/Linux. This patch removes it and shrinks source and binary size of xfs aswell as shrinking the size of xfs_inode by 60/44 bytes in debug/non-debug builds.

2007-12-10[XFS] Fix broken inode cluster setup.David Chinner
The radix tree based inode caches did away with the inode cluster hashes, replacing them with a bunch of masking and gang lookups on the radix tree. This masking got broken when moving the code to per-ag radix trees and indexing by agino # rather than straight inode number. The result is clustered inode writeback does not cluster and things can go extremely slowly when there are lots of inodes to write. Fix it up by comparing the agino # of the inode we just looked up to the index of the cluster we are looking for.

2007-10-15[XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner
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....

2006-11-11[XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.David Chinner
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying to push the inode it was currently unpinning. To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux inode to the xfs inode.

2006-09-28[XFS] Really fix use after free in xfs_iunpin.David Chinner
The previous attempts to fix the linux inode use-after-free in xfs_iunpin simply made the problem harder to hit. We actually need complete exclusion between xfs_reclaim and xfs_iunpin, as well as ensuring that the i_flags are consistent during both of these functions. Introduce a new spinlock for exclusion and the i_flags, and fix up xfs_iunpin to use igrab before marking the inode dirty.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
