2023-08-10	xfs: teach xfile to pass back direct-map pages to caller	Darrick J. Wong
	Certain xfile array operations (such as sorting) can be sped up quite a bit by allowing xfile users to grab a page to bulk-read the records contained within it. Create helper methods to facilitate this. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
2023-08-10	xfs: create a big array data structure	Darrick J. Wong
	Create a simple 'big array' data structure for storage of fixed-size metadata records that will be used to reconstruct a btree index. For repair operations, the most important operations are append, iterate, and sort. Earlier implementations of the big array used linked lists and suffered from severe problems -- pinning all records in kernel memory was not a good idea and frequently lead to OOM situations; random access was very inefficient; and record overhead for the lists was unacceptably high at 40-60%. Therefore, the big memory array relies on the 'xfile' abstraction, which creates a memfd file and stores the records in page cache pages. Since the memfd is created in tmpfs, the memory pages can be pushed out to disk if necessary and we have a built-in usage limit of 50% of physical memory. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
