Hi Folks,

This is version 5 of the delayed logging series.

I won't repeat everything about what it is, just point you
here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=126862777118946&w=2

for the description, and here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/xfs.git delayed-logging

for the current code. Note that this is a rebased branch, so you'll
need to pull it again into a new branch to review.

This version includes a documentation updates and fixes to
the busy extent tracking infrastructure.

The patch series follows this mail to make it easier for people to
respond to specific pieces of the code during review. I'm still
making the entire patch set available through git, though.

Version 2: 22 files changed, 2188 insertions(+), 377 deletions(-)
Version 1: 19 files changed, 2594 insertions(+), 580 deletions(-)

Changes for V5:
o fixed many typos in the desgin documentation - thanks to Nathan Scott
for proof reading it. :)
o found another transaction assert failure - un-reverting the change to
transaction ID matching as the reason it avoided the assert failures is now
known. (new commit for exporting the ticket ID).
o added transaction ID to busy extent tracing
o added lots of comments explaining the reason for needing transaction ID
matching w/ delayed logging.
o added overlap detection in busy extent inserts

Changes for V4:
o fixes duplicate transaction IDs on rolling transactions (new commit)
o folded in a busy extent freeing cleanup from Christoph Hellwig
o made API prefix consistent (xfs_alloc_busy_*)
o combined xfs_alloc_mark_busy and xfs_alloc_busy_insert
o reverted back to tracking transaction pointers in busy extents
o removed exporting of transaction ID for busy extents
o fixed an off-by-one in the extent range match in the busy extent
search code that has been triggering assert failures
o use list_splice_init() when splicing busy extents from the
transaction to the checkpoint context to ensure we don't get
transactions thinking they have busy extents to free after we've
already attached them to the checkpoint.

Changes for V3:
o changed buffer log item reference counted model to be consistent
for both logging modes
o cleaned up XFS_BLI flags usage (new commit)
o separated out log ticket overrun printing cleanup (new commit)
o made sure "delaylog" option shows up in /proc/mounts
o collapsed many of the intermediate commits together to make it
easier to review
o fixed inode buffer tagging issue that was causing shutdowns in log
recovery in test 087 and 121

Changes for V2:
o 22 files changed, 2188 insertions(+), 377 deletions(-)
o fixed some memory leaks
o fixed ticket allocation for checkpoints to use KM_NOFS
o minor code cleanups
o performed stress and scalability testing
