XFS uses a fixed reference count for certain types of buffers in the internal LRU cache. These reference counts dictate how aggressively certain buffers are reclaimed vs. others. While the reference counts implements priority across different buffer types, all buffers (other than uncached buffers) are typically cached for at least one reclaim cycle. We've had at least one bug recently that has been hidden by a released buffer sitting around in the LRU. Users hitting the problem were able to reproduce under enough memory pressure to cause aggressive reclaim in a particular window of time. To support future xfstests cases, add an error injection tag to hardcode the buffer reference count to zero. When enabled, this bypasses caching of associated buffers and facilitates test cases that depend on this behavior. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
