XFS's vmap batching simply defers a number (up to 64) of vunmaps,
and keeps track of them in a list. To purge the batch, it just goes
through the list and calls vunamp on each one. This is pretty poor:
a global TLB flush is generally still performed on each vunmap, with
the most expensive parts of the operation being the broadcast IPIs
and locking involved in the SMP callouts, and the locking involved
in the vmap management -- none of these are avoided by just batching
up the calls. I'm actually surprised it ever made much difference.
(Now that the lazy vmap allocator is upstream, this description is
not quite right, but the vunmap batching still doesn't seem to do
much).
Rip all this logic out of XFS completely. I will improve vmap
performance and scalability directly in subsequent patch.

Currently when the xfsbufd writes delayed write buffers, it pushes
them to disk in the order they come off the delayed write list. If
there are lots of buffers ѕpread widely over the disk, this results
in overwhelming the elevator sort queues in the block layer and we
end up losing the posibility of merging adjacent buffers to minimise
the number of IOs.
Use the new generic list_sort function to sort the delwri dispatch
queue before issue to ensure that the buffers are pushed in the most
friendly order possible to the lower layers.

All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write.
When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the
buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of
buffers in the AIL.
Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed
write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will
be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the
buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause
the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted.
Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all
buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more
enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as
we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd
will be in a future patch.

The code in xfs_free_buf() only attempts to free the b_pages array if the
buffer is a page cache backed or page allocated buffer. The extra log buffer
that is used when the log wraps uses pages that are allocated to a different
log buffer, but it still has a b_pages array allocated when those pages
are associated to with the extra buffer in xfs_buf_associate_memory.
Hence we need to always attempt to free the b_pages array when tearing
down a buffer, not just on buffers that are explicitly marked as page bearing
buffers. This fixes a leak detected by the kernel memory leak code.

Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.
To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail. To reads the events do a
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
spots in XFS. Take a look at
http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
for some examples.
Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.
And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:

xfs_buf_associate_memory is used for setting up the spare buffer for the

under it must avoid recursions into the filesystem. There are a couple
more uses of xfs_buf_associate_memory in the log recovery code that are
also affected by this, but I'd rather keep the code simple than passing on
a gfp_mask argument. Longer term we should just stop requiring the memoery

Currently we disable barriers as soon as we get a buffer in xlog_iodone
that has the XBF_ORDERED flag cleared. But this can be the case not only
for buffers where the barrier failed, but also the first buffer of a
split log write in case of a log wraparound. Due to the disabled
barriers we can easily get directory corruption on unclean shutdowns.
So instead of using this check add a new buffer flag for failed barrier
writes.
This is a regression vs 2.6.26 caused by patch to use the right macro
to check for the ORDERED flag, as we previously got true returned for
every buffer.

There is no need to lock any page in xfs_buf.c because we operate on our
own address_space and all locking is covered by the buffer semaphore. If
we ever switch back to main blockdeive address_space as suggested e.g. for
fsblock with a similar scheme the locking will have to be totally revised
anyway because the current scheme is neither correct nor coherent with
itself.

Checking if an address is a vmalloc address is done in a couple of places.
Define a common version in mm.h and replace the other checks.
Again the include structures suck. The definition of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END is not available in vmalloc.h since highmem.c cannot be included
there.
