It has been a longstanding convention that online scrub and repair functions can return -EDEADLOCK to signal that they weren't able to obtain some necessary resource. When this happens, the scrub framework is supposed to release all resources attached to the scrub context, set the TRY_HARDER flag in the scrub context flags, and try again. In this context, individual scrub functions are supposed to take all the resources they (incorrectly) speculated were not necessary. We're about to make it so that the functions that lock and wait for a filesystem AG can also return EDEADLOCK to signal that we need to try again with the drain waiters enabled. Therefore, refactor xfs_scrub_metadata to support this behavior for ->setup() functions. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
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.
