- Limit the length of ioend chains in writeback so that we don't trip

Merge tag 'iomap-5.17-fixes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull iomap fix from Darrick Wong:
 "A single bugfix for iomap.

  The fix should eliminate occasional complaints about stall warnings
  when a lot of writeback IO completes all at once and we have to then
  go clearing status on a large number of folios.

  Summary:

   - Limit the length of ioend chains in writeback so that we don't trip
     the softlockup watchdog and to limit long tail latency on clearing
     PageWriteback"

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.
