In the log, revokes are stored as a revoke descriptor (struct gfs2_log_descriptor), followed by zero or more additional revoke blocks (struct gfs2_meta_header). On filesystems with a blocksize of 4k, the revoke descriptor contains up to 503 revokes, and the metadata blocks contain up to 509 revokes each. We've so far been reserving space for revokes in transactions in block granularity, so a lot more space than necessary was being allocated and then released again. This patch switches to assigning revokes to transactions individually instead. Initially, space for the revoke descriptor is reserved and handed out to transactions. When more revokes than that are reserved, additional revoke blocks are added. When the log is flushed, the space for the additional revoke blocks is released, but we keep the space for the revoke descriptor block allocated. Transactions may still reserve more revokes than they will actually need in the end, but now we won't overshoot the target as much, and by only returning the space for excess revokes at log flush time, we further reduce the amount of contention between processes.

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.
