Because when running fsmark workloads with 64kB xattrs, heap
allocation of >64kB buffers for the attr item name/value buffer
will fail and deadlock.

....

I'd use kvmalloc(), but if we are doing 15,000 64kB xattr creates a
second, the attempt to use kmalloc() in kvmalloc() results in a huge
amount of direct reclaim work that is guaranteed to fail occurs
before it falls back to vmalloc:

- 48.19% xfs_attr_create_intent
  - 46.89% xfs_attri_init
     - kvmalloc_node
	- 46.04% __kmalloc_node
	   - kmalloc_large_node
	      - 45.99% __alloc_pages
		 - 39.39% __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.0
		    - 38.89% __alloc_pages_direct_compact

			    __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
	- 0.86% __vmalloc_node_range
	     0.65% __alloc_pages_bulk

So lift xlog_cil_kvmalloc(), rename it to xlog_kvmalloc() and use
that instead because it has sane fail-fast behaviour for the
embedded kmalloc attempt. It also provides __GFP_NOFAIL guarantees
that kvmalloc() won't do, either....

Are we fixing these because the xlog_{copy,finish}_iovec functions do
the rounding themselves now?

...and we don't need to bloat up the internal structures anymore either,
right?

I wonder if this memset should be right after the xlog_kvmalloc and
leave the kmem_cache_zalloc alone?

Looks solid otherwise.

This looks ok to me, didnt run across any test failures

Yes, I forgot that I cleaned this up here when I noticed it.
Probably should mention it in the commit log:

"We also clean up the attribute name and value lengths as they no
longer need to be rounded out to sizes compatible with log vectors."

Yup, because we only copy out the exact length of the name/val now.

Then we memset the header twice in the common small attr case, and
the xfs_attri_log_item header is not exactly what you'd call small
(224 bytes).

Cheers,

Dave.
