H A Dxfs_trans_ail.c24ba16bb Sun Nov 01 20:46:58 CST 2015 Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> xfs: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xfsaild kthread

Since xfsaild has been converted to kthread in 0030807c, it calls
try_to_freeze() during every AIL push iteration. It however doesn't set
itself as freezable, and therefore this try_to_freeze() will never do
anything.

Before (hopefully eventually) kthread freezing gets converted to fileystem
freezing, we'd rather mark xfsaild freezable (as it can generate I/O
during suspend).

0030807c Tue Oct 11 10:14:10 CDT 2011 Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushing

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:

- it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
in the system.
- it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
work items

At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.

Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.
