[PATCH 1/5] xfs: track AGs with reclaimable inodes in per-ag radix tree

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16348

When the filesystem grows to a large number of allocation groups,
the summing of recalimable inodes gets expensive. In many cases,
most AGs won't have any reclaimable inodes and so we are wasting CPU
time aggregating over these AGs. This is particularly important for
the inode shrinker that gets called frequently under memory
pressure.

To avoid the overhead, track AGs with reclaimable inodes in the
per-ag radix tree so that we can find all the AGs with reclaimable
inodes via a simple gang tag lookup. This involves setting the tag
when the first reclaimable inode is tracked in the AG, and removing
the tag when the last reclaimable inode is removed from the tree.
Then the summation process becomes a loop walking the radix tree
summing AGs with the reclaim tag set.

This significantly reduces the overhead of scanning - a 6400 AG
filesystea now only uses about 25% of a cpu in kswapd while slab reclaim
progresses instead of being permanently stuck at 100% CPU and making little
progress. Clean filesystems filesystems will see no overhead and the
overhead only increases linearly with the number of dirty AGs.
