Brian Foster 03f4e4b26c xfs: make deferred processing safe for embedded dfops
xfs_defer_finish() has a couple quirks that are not safe with
respect to the upcoming internal dfops functionality. First,
xfs_defer_finish() attaches the passed in dfops structure to
->t_dfops and caches and restores the original value. Second, it
continues to use the initial dfops reference before and after the
transaction roll.

These behaviors assume that dop is an independent memory allocation
from the transaction itself, which may not always be true once
transactions begin to use an embedded dfops structure. In the latter
model, dfops processing creates a new xfs_defer_ops structure with
each transaction and the associated state is migrated across to the
new transaction.

Fix up xfs_defer_finish() to handle the possibility of the current
dfops changing after a transaction roll. Since ->t_dfops is used
unconditionally in this path, it is no longer necessary to
attach/restore ->t_dfops and pass it explicitly down to
xfs_defer_trans_roll(). Update dop in the latter function and the
caller to ensure that it always refers to the current dfops
structure.

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.
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.
