Andrew,
Here is the latest patch. Unfortunately, its not surviving my stress
tests on 1k filesystem. I keep running into
fs/buffer.c: 2791 assert in submit_bh()
BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh));
I haven't touched "bh" itself. So, I am not sure whats happening
here. I am trying to reproduce it on mainline 2.6.18-rc4 (seen
it once so far - but not consistently).
Changes since the last patch:
- create appropriate slabs only when we mount the filesystem with
that blocksize.
- simplify the find slab idx process and get it by shifting size.
Thanks,
Badari
JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs.
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to
cross the page boundary causing IO problems.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127
So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage
allocation from its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.
