2024-11-05	xfs: pass the iunlink item to the xfs_iunlink_update_dinode trace point	Christoph Hellwig
	So that decoding is only done when tracing is actually enabled and the call site look a lot neater. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>
2023-04-11	xfs: create traced helper to get extra perag references	Darrick J. Wong
	There are a few places in the XFS codebase where a caller has either an active or a passive reference to a perag structure and wants to give a passive reference to some other piece of code. Btree cursor creation and inode walks are good examples of this. Replace the open-coded logic with a helper to do this. The new function adds a few safeguards -- it checks that there's at least one reference to the perag structure passed in, and it records the refcount bump in the ftrace information. This makes it much easier to debug perag refcounting problems. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
2022-07-14	xfs: add in-memory iunlink log item	Dave Chinner
	Now that we have a clean operation to update the di_next_unlinked field of inode cluster buffers, we can easily defer this operation to transaction commit time so we can order the inode cluster buffer locking consistently. To do this, we introduce a new in-memory log item to track the unlinked list item modification that we are going to make. This follows the same observations as the in-memory double linked list used to track unlinked inodes in that the inodes on the list are pinned in memory and cannot go away, and hence we can simply reference them for the duration of the transaction without needing to take active references or pin them or look them up. This allows us to pass the xfs_inode to the transaction commit code along with the modification to be made, and then order the logged modifications via the ->iop_sort and ->iop_precommit operations for the new log item type. As this is an in-memory log item, it doesn't have formatting, CIL or AIL operational hooks - it exists purely to run the inode unlink modifications and is then removed from the transaction item list and freed once the precommit operation has run.
