Move the tracking of reclaimable inodes into the inode radix trees. This currently does not replace the reclaim flags in the inode, rather it allows traversal of all reclaimable inodes by walking the per-AG inode radix trees without needing a separate list. This enables us to remove a struct list_head from the struct xfs_inode and the xfs_mount, as well as a filesystem global lock which also has the benefit of removing a point of serialisation during inode reclaim. Like the matching sync code, this also allows reclaim of inodes in ascending inode numbers which substantially improves I/O patterns during reclaim driven inode flushing. |
