Hi all, This series addresses the ioend completion batching log res deadlock vector by removing the preallocated transaction from append ioends. Instead, we continue to process append ioend completions via the workqueue, but let the wq task allocate the transaction similar to other ioend types. Patch 1 makes the functional change and the remaining patches are followon cleanups. Technically this could all be squashed down to a single patch, if desired. Thoughts, reviews, flames appreciated.
