Brian Foster cb6ad0993e xfs: refactor failed buffer resubmission into xfsaild
Flush locked log items whose underlying buffers fail metadata
writeback are tagged with a special flag to indicate that the flush
lock is already held. This is currently implemented in the type
specific ->iop_push() callback, but the processing required for such
items is not type specific because we're only doing basic state
management on the underlying buffer.

Factor the failed log item handling out of the inode and dquot
->iop_push() callbacks and open code the buffer resubmit helper into
a single helper called from xfsaild_push_item(). This provides a
generic mechanism for handling failed metadata buffer writeback with
a bit less code.

README

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.
