From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Upstream commit: 12bcb3f7d4371f74bd25372e98e0d2da978e82b2 Recent event tracing during a debugging session showed that flags that define the IO type for a buffer are leaking into the flags on the buffer incorrectly. Fix the flag exclusion mask in xfs_buf_alloc() to avoid problems that may be caused by such leakage.
