Incore log buffers are not always a power of two of the page size.
In particular, when xfs is running over software raid devices, the
log buffers are allocated to match the size of a stripe.
However, they are always a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, so we are still safe.

I ran xfsqa over it, which should catch this case.

Hi Christoph,
Did you do some testing for recovery when end of the physical log
is seen ?
When you will be dealing with striped ICLOG buffers or big sized
ICLOGs, header size might range from 512 to 2k. Also, this header might
be split into 2 parts at the end of physical log. Then,
Currently xfs_buf_get_noaddr allocates memory using kmem_alloc which
can end up either in kmalloc or vmalloc and assigns it to the buffer.
This patch changes it to allocate individual pages and if there is
more then one maps it into kernel virtual space using vmap.
This means the minimum buffer al
8 matches
