I've just realized that Darrick was not on the CC list. Let's add him. I believe this patch should go in in the current cycle because 5d17a73a2ebe was merged in this merge window and it can be abused... The other patch [1] is not that urgent.

I'd suggest removing it completely, replacing the call sites with kmem_zalloc_large(). Cheers, Dave.

I thought the reason why _greedy still exists (for its sole user bulkstat) is that bulkstat had the flexibility to deal with receiving 0, 1, or 4 pages. So yeah, we could just kill it. But thinking even more stingily about memory, are there applications that care about being able to bulkstat 16384 inodes at once? How badly does bulkstat need to be able to bulk-process more than a page's worth of inobt records, anyway? --D > > Cheers, > > Dave. > -- > Dave Chinner > david@fromorbit.com > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

So yeah, we could just kill it. irbuf is sized to minimise AGI locking, but if memory is low it just uses what it can get. Keep in mind the number of inodes we need to process is determined by the userspace buffer size, which can easily be sized to hold tens of thousands of struct xfs_bulkstat. > But thinking even more stingily about memory, are there applications > that care about being able to bulkstat 16384 inodes at once? IIRC, xfsdump can bulkstat up to 64k inodes per call.... > How badly > does bulkstat need to be able to bulk-process more than a page's worth > of inobt records, anyway? Benchmark it on a busy system doing lots of other AGI work (e.g. a busy NFS server workload with a working set of tens of millions of inodes so it doesn't fit in cache) and find out. That's generally how I answer those sorts of questions... Cheers, Dave.

I'd suggest removing it completely, replacing the call sites > with kmem_zalloc_large(). I do not really care how this gets fixed. Dropping kmem_zalloc_greedy sounds like a way to go. I am not familiar with xfs_bulkstat to do an edicated guess which allocation size to use. So I guess I have to postpone this to you guys if you prefer that route though. Thanks!
