PATCH] xfs: use roundup_pow_of_two in xlog_write_log_records

From: Wang Jianchao
Date: Tue Sep 12 2023 - 02:18:10 EST



In our production environment, we find that mounting a 500M and
clean /boot needs ~6 seconds sometimes. The one cause is that
xlog_write_log_records() uses ffs to decide the buffer size. It
can cause a lot of small IO easily when xlog_clear_stale_blocks()
needs to wrap around the end of log area and log head block is
not power of two. As xlog_write_log_records() has handled bigger
buffer very well, we can use roundup_pow_of_two instead of ffs to
decide buffer size.
