Won't work when you have thousands of concurrent transactions
running in XFS and they are all doing GFP_NOFAIL allocations. That's
why I suggested the per-transaction reserve pool - we can use that
to throttle the number of concurent contexts demanding memory for
forwards progress, just the same was we throttle the number of
concurrent processes based on maximum log space requirements of the
transactions and the amount of unreserved log space available.
No log space, transaction reservations waits on an ordered queue for
space to become available. No memory available, transaction
reservation waits on an ordered queue for memory to become
available.
Cheers,
Dave.
