Darrick J. Wong 4dffb2cbb4 xfs: allow pausing of pending deferred work items
Traditionally, all pending deferred work attached to a transaction is
finished when one of the xfs_defer_finish* functions is called.
However, online repair wants to be able to allocate space for a new data
structure, format a new metadata structure into the allocated space, and
commit that into the filesystem.

As a hedge against system crashes during repairs, we also want to log
some EFI items for the allocated space speculatively, and cancel them if
we elect to commit the new data structure.

Therefore, introduce the idea of pausing a pending deferred work item.
Log intent items are still created for paused items and relogged as
necessary.  However, paused items are pushed onto a side list before we
start calling ->finish_item, and the whole list is reattach to the
transaction afterwards.  New work items are never attached to paused
pending items.

Modify xfs_defer_cancel to clean up pending deferred work items holding
a log intent item but not a log intent done item, since that is now
possible.

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.
