While documenting the usage of the commit_root_sem, I noticed that we do not actually take the commit_root_sem in the case of the free space cache. This is problematic because we're supposed to hold that sem while we're reading the commit roots, which is what we do for the free space cache. The reason I did it inline when I originally wrote the code was because there's the case of unpinning where we need to make sure that the free space cache is loaded if we're going to use the free space cache. But we can accomplish the same thing by simply waiting for the cache to be loaded. Rework this code to load the free space cache asynchronously. This allows us to greatly cleanup the caching code because now it's all shared by the various caching methods. We also are now in a position to have the commit_root semaphore held while we're loading the free space cache. And finally our modification of ->last_byte_to_unpin is removed because it can be handled in the proper way on commit. Some care must be taken when replaying the log, when we expect that the free space cache will be read entirely before we start excluding space to replay. This could lead to overwriting space during replay. Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
