If a client ever uses the highest available slot for a given session,
attempt to allocate more slots so there is room for the client to use
them if wanted.  GFP_NOWAIT is used so if there is not plenty of
free memory, failure is expected - which is what we want.  It also
allows the allocation while holding a spinlock.

Each time we increase the number of slots by 20% (rounded up).  This
allows fairly quick growth while avoiding excessive over-shoot.

We would expect to stablise with around 10% more slots available than
the client actually uses.

20% seems like a reasonable place to start, but I do wonder if this
might need to be tunable under some workloads. Oh well, we can cross
that bridge if/when someone complains.

I don't know here. Why not just use GFP_NOWAIT for the xa_store too? If
we're so memory constrained that that fails, we're probably better off
releasing the slot.

I think that if we need a tunable, then it is a failure of design.
If?when someone complains we may well need to redesign.  I hope we could
avoid a tunable in that design!

Maybe.  I'm open simple using GFP_NOWAIT both places.
Most often xa_store won't need to allocate anything - it adds slots to
the array in batches (at least I assume it does - anything else would be
inefficient).  So it mostly won't matter.
So if seems at all inelegant - let's drop it.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

I'd prefer we drop that part. It probably won't matter much in the long
run anyway.

Don't you want to break out of this loop if slot allocation or the
xa_store() fails? Does the session logic work if there is a gap
of unallocated slots in the slot table? Seems like we want to wait
a bit anyway after an allocation failure before asking again.

Otherwise, LGTM. I assume a v4 is forthcoming to address review
comments.

Indeed!  The "slot = NULL" which the next patch adds should be in this
patch.  That makes the loop abort.

I'll send that out Monday morning.
