2006-09-07[XFS] Prevent free space oversubscription and xfssyncd looping.David Chinner1-0/+20
The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times. However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the AG. The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block ioctl respect this requirement.

2006-06-09[XFS] In actual allocation of file system blocks and freeing extents, theYingping Lu1-0/+2
transaction within each such operation may involve multiple locking of AGF buffer. While the freeing extent function has sorted the extents based on AGF number before entering into transaction, however, when the file system space is very limited, the allocation of space would try every AGF to get space allocated, this could potentially cause out-of-order locking, thus deadlock could happen. This fix mitigates the scarce space for allocation by setting aside a few blocks without reservation, and avoid deadlock by maintaining ascending order of AGF locking.

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!
