The throttle path doesn't take cleaner_delayed_iput_mutex, which means we could think we're done flushing iputs in the data space reservation path when we could have a throttler doing an iput. There's no real reason to serialize the delayed iput flushing, so instead of taking the cleaner_delayed_iput_mutex whenever we flush the delayed iputs just replace it with an atomic counter and a waitqueue. This removes the short (or long depending on how big the inode is) window where we think there are no more pending iputs when there really are some. The waiting is killable as it could be indirectly called from user operations like fallocate or zero-range. Such call sites should handle the error but otherwise it's not necessary. Eg. flush_space just needs to attempt to make space by waiting on iputs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
