Commit Message

Yafang Shao Dec. 8, 2020, 12:28 p.m. UTC
PF_FSTRANS which is used to avoid transaction reservation recursion, is
dropped since commit 9070733b4efa ("xfs: abstract PF_FSTRANS to
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS") and commit 7dea19f9ee63 ("mm: introduce
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API") and replaced by PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which
means to avoid filesystem reclaim recursion.

As these two flags have different meanings, we'd better reintroduce
PF_FSTRANS back. To avoid wasting the space of PF_* flags in task_struct,
we can reuse the current->journal_info to do that, per Willy. As the
check of transaction reservation recursion is used by XFS only, we can
move the check into xfs_vm_writepage(s), per Dave.

To better abstract that behavoir, two new helpers are introduced, as
follows,
- xfs_trans_context_active
  To check whehter current is in fs transcation or not
- xfs_trans_context_swap
  Transfer the transaction context when rolling a permanent transaction

These two new helpers are instroduced in xfs_trans.h.

This one line (ntp->t_pflags = tp->t_pflags) should move to
xfs_trans_context_swap.
