xlog_tic_add_region() is used to trace the regions being added to a log ticket to provide information in the situation where a ticket reservation overrun occurs. The information gathered is stored int the ticket, and dumped if xlog_print_tic_res() is called. For a front end struct xfs_trans overrun, the ticket only contains reservation tracking information - the ticket is never handed to the log so has no regions attached to it. The overrun debug information in this case comes from xlog_print_trans(), which walks the items attached to the transaction and dumps their attached formatted log vectors directly. It also dumps the ticket state, but that only contains reservation accounting and nothing else. Hence xlog_print_tic_res() never dumps region or overrun information from this path. xlog_tic_add_region() is actually called from xlog_write(), which means it is being used to track the regions seen in a CIL checkpoint log vector chain. In looking at CIL behaviour recently, I've seen 32MB checkpoints regularly exceed 250,000 regions in the LV chain. The log ticket debug code can track *15* regions. IOWs, if there is a ticket overrun in the CIL code, the ticket region tracking code is going to be completely useless for determining what went wrong. The only thing it can tell us is how much of an overrun occurred, and we really don't need extra debug information in the log ticket to tell us that. Indeed, the main place we call xlog_tic_add_region() is also adding up the number of regions and the space used so that xlog_write() knows how much will be written to the log. This is exactly the same information that log ticket is storing once we take away the useless region tracking array. Hence xlog_tic_add_region() is not useful, but can be called 250,000 times a CIL push... Just strip all that debug "information" out of the of the log ticket and only have it report reservation space information when an overrun occurs. This also reduces the size of a log ticket down by about 150 bytes... Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
