With the current code, XFS never re-submit a failed buffer for IO,
because the failed item in the buffer is kept in the flush locked state
forever.

To be able to resubmit an log item for IO, we need a way to mark an item
as failed, if, for any reason the buffer which the item belonged to
failed during writeback.

Add a new log item callback to be used after an IO completion failure
and make the needed clean ups.

V2:
	- Update commit log to include a better description of why this
	  patch is needed and fix spelling mistakes
	- Move xfs_buf_do_callbacks_fail() call into
	  xfs_buf_iodone_callback_error, so the callbacks can be executed
	  before the buffer is released, and only after it has been
	  retried once

V3:
	- fix some loops according to hch suggestion
	- whitespace cleanup

V4:
	- Invoke failure callbacks before reset the I/O error
	- Remove bflags field from iop_error callback
	- move spin_lock/unlock xa_lock up in the stack, handling all
	  log items in the same buffer into a single lock

Looks mostly Ok to me, just a few nits...

We can just define a local pointer to the xfs_ail rather than maintain a
log item pointer purely for the purpose of the lock. E.g.:

	struct xfs_log_item	*lip = bp->b_fspriv;
	struct xfs_ail		*ailp = lip->li_ailp;

	spin_lock(&ailp->xa_lock);
	for (; lip; lip = next) {
		...
	}
	...

It also couldn't hurt to ASSERT(bp->b_error) somewhere in here.

Weren't you planning to change these to (1 << N) format?

Sounds fair, I'll change these things

Yeah, I just forgot to add it to my 'todo' for this patchset and it went to
/dev/null during all the other changes :)

I'll add it to the next one.
