From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> When we've emptied the buffer log item list, it does a list_del_init on itself to reset it's pointers to itself. This is unnecessary as the list is already empty at this point. I'm guessing this was a bandaid for a iodone item leak or list corruption at some point in the past, and we've carried it ever since. Get rid of it.
