Directories are only updated transactionally, which means fsync only
needs to flush the log the inode is currently dirty, but not bother
with checking for dirty data, non-transactional updates, and most
importanly doesn't have to flush disk caches except as part of a
transaction commit.
While the first two optimizations can't easily be measured, the
latter actually makes a difference when doing lots of fsync that do
not actually have to commit the inode, e.g. because an earlier fsync
already pushed the log far enough.
The new xfs_dir_fsync is identical to xfs_nfs_commit_metadata except
for the prototype, but I'm not sure creating a common helper for the
two is worth it given how simple the functions are.

The AIL push code will issue a log force on ever single push loop
that it exits and has encountered pinned items. It doesn't rescan
these pinned items until it revisits the AIL from the start. Hence
we only need to force the log once per walk from the start of the
AIL to the target LSN.
This results in numbers like this:
xs_push_ail_flush..... 1456
xs_log_force......... 1485
For an 8-way 50M inode create workload - almost all the log forces
are coming from the AIL pushing code.
Reduce the number of log forces by only forcing the log if the
previous walk found pinned buffers. This reduces the numbers to:
xs_push_ail_flush..... 665
xs_log_force......... 682
For the same test.

Stats show that for an 8-way unlink @ ~80,000 unlinks/s we are doing
~1 million cache hit lookups to ~3000 buffer creates. That's almost
3 orders of magnitude more cahce hits than misses, so optimising for
cache hits is quite important. In the cache hit case, we do not need
to allocate a new buffer in case of a cache miss, so we are
effectively hitting the allocator for no good reason for vast the
majority of calls to _xfs_buf_find. 8-way create workloads are
showing similar cache hit/miss ratios.
The result is profiles that look like this:

388.00 3.7% kmem_cache_free [kernel.kallsyms]
331.00 3.2% xfs_log_commit_cil [kernel.kallsyms]
Further, there is a fair bit of work involved in initialising a new
buffer once a cache miss has occurred and we currently do that under
the rbtree spinlock. That increases spinlock hold time on what are
heavily used trees.
To fix this, remove the initialisation of the buffer from
_xfs_buf_find() and only allocate the new buffer once we've had a
cache miss. Initialise the buffer immediately after allocating it in
xfs_buf_get, too, so that is it ready for insert if we get another
cache miss after allocation. This minimises lock hold time and
avoids unnecessary allocator churn. The resulting profiles look
like:

There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock
it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between
the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref
back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock
is needed now.
I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked
at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real
benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a
synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the
log force manually after the unlock, too.

In xfs_ioc_trim it is possible that computing the last allocation group
to discard might overflow for big start & len values, because the result
might be bigger then xfs_agnumber_t which is 32 bit long. Fix this by not
allowing the start and end block of the range to be beyond the end of the
file system.
Note that if the start is beyond the end of the file system we have to
return -EINVAL, but in the "end" case we have to truncate it to the fs
size.
Also introduce "end" variable, rather than using start+len which which
might be more confusing to get right as this bug shows.

xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and
allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)"
branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required.
This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant
indent issues with the code.
Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can
split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that
we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the
extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for
the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation
code to be simplified in another commit.
Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of
xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.

Currently it returns EIO, not negative value, when it failed. As a
result, the system call returns not negative value even though an

Currently xfs_attr_inactive causes a synchronous transactions if we are

thus makes XFS extremely slow at removing files with out of line extended

extents that have been freed but not commited yet, so this code is just
