Current xlog_write() adds op headers to the log manually for every log item region that is in the vector passed to it. While xlog_write() needs to stamp the transaction ID into the ophdr, we already know it's length, flags, clientid, etc at CIL commit time. This means the only time that xlog write really needs to format and reserve space for a new ophdr is when a region is split across two iclogs. Adding the opheader and accounting for it as part of the normal formatted item region means we simplify the accounting of space used by a transaction and we don't have to special case reserving of space in for the ophdrs in xlog_write(). It also means we can largely initialise the ophdr in transaction commit instead of xlog_write, making the xlog_write formatting inner loop much tighter. xlog_prepare_iovec() is now too large to stay as an inline function, so we move it out of line and into xfs_log.c. Object sizes: text data bss dec hex filename 1125934 305951 484 1432369 15db31 fs/xfs/built-in.a.before 1123360 305951 484 1429795 15d123 fs/xfs/built-in.a.after So the code is a roughly 2.5kB smaller with xlog_prepare_iovec() now out of line, even though it grew in size itself.

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.
