The log item failed flag is used to indicate a log item was flushed
but the underlying buffer was not successfully written to disk. If
the error configuration allows for writeback retries, xfsaild uses
the flag to resubmit the underlying buffer without acquiring the
flush lock of the item.
The flag is currently set and cleared under the AIL lock and buffer
lock in the ->iop_error() callback, invoked via ->b_iodone() at I/O
completion time. The flag is checked at xfsaild push time under AIL
lock and cleared under buffer lock before resubmission. If I/O
eventually succeeds, the flag is cleared in the _done() handler for
the associated item type, again under AIL lock and buffer lock.
As far as I can tell, the only reason for holding the AIL lock
across sets/clears is to manage consistency between the log item
bitop state and the temporary buffer pointer that is attached to the
log item. The bit itself is used to manage consistency of the
attached buffer, but is not enough to guarantee the buffer is still
attached by the time xfsaild attempts to access it. However since
failure state is always set or cleared under buffer lock (either via
I/O completion or xfsaild), this particular case can be handled at
item push time by verifying failure state once under buffer lock.
Remove the AIL lock protection from the various bits of log item
failure state management and simplify the surrounding code where
applicable. Use the buffer lock in the xfsaild resubmit code to
detect failure state changes and temporarily treat the item as
locked.
