    xfs: refactor buffer logging into buffer dirtying helper · 9684010d
    Brian Foster authored
    xfs_trans_log_buf() is responsible for logging the dirty segments of
    a buffer along with setting all of the necessary state on the
    transaction, buffer, bli, etc., to ensure that the associated items
    are marked as dirty and prepared for I/O. We have a couple use cases
    that need to to dirty a buffer in a transaction without actually
    logging dirty ranges of the buffer.  One existing use case is
    ordered buffers, which are currently logged with arbitrary ranges to
    accomplish this even though the content of ordered buffers is never
    written to the log. Another pending use case is to relog an already
    dirty buffer across rolled transactions within the deferred
    operations infrastructure. This is required to prevent a held
    (XFS_BLI_HOLD) buffer from pinning the tail of the log.
    
    Refactor xfs_trans_log_buf() into a new function that contains all
    of the logic responsible to dirty the transaction, lidp, buffer and
    bli. This new function can be used in the future for the use cases
    outlined above. This patch does not introduce functional changes.
