[PATCH 22/26] xfs: track reclaimable inodes using a LRU list

Dave Chinner
2019-10-09T03:22:04Z

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Now that we don't do IO from the inode reclaim code, there is no
need to optimise inode scanning order for optimal IO
characteristics. The AIL takes care of that for us, so now reclaim
can focus on selecting the best inodes to reclaim.

Hence we can change the inode reclaim algorithm to a real LRU and
remove the need to use the radix tree to track and walk inodes under
reclaim. This frees up a radix tree bit and simplifies the code that
marks inodes are reclaim candidates. It also simplifies the reclaim
code - we don't need batching anymore and all the reclaim logic
can be added to the LRU isolation callback.

Further, we get node aware reclaim at the xfs_inode level, which
should help the per-node reclaim code free relevant inodes faster.

We can re-use the VFS inode lru pointers - once the inode has been
reclaimed from the VFS, we can use these pointers ourselves. Hence
we don't need to grow the inode to change the way we index
reclaimable inodes.

Start by adding the list_lru tracking in parallel with the existing
reclaim code. This makes it easier to see the LRU infrastructure
separate to the reclaim algorithm changes. Especially the locking
order, which is ip->i_flags_lock -> list_lru lock.
