Linux kernel source tree

First, function gfs2_ail_flush_reqd checks the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag
to determine if an AIL flush should be forced in low-memory situations.
However, it also immediately clears the flag, and when called repeatedly
as in function gfs2_logd, the flag will be lost. Fix that by pulling
the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag check out of gfs2_ail_flush_reqd.
Second, function gfs2_writepages sets the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag
whether or not enough pages were written. If enough pages could be
written, flushing the AIL is unnecessary, though.
Third, gfs2_writepages doesn't wake up logd after setting the
SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag, so it can take a long time for logd to react.
It would be preferable to wake up logd, but that hurts the performance
of some workloads and we don't quite understand why so far, so don't
wake up logd so far.

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.
