We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current writeback work. This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack overruns. This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold any locks that will stall writeback. Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers while w...
