When someone tries to add a deferred work item to xfs_defer_add, it will try to attach the work item to the most recently added xfs_defer_pending object attached to the transaction. However, it doesn't check if the pending object has a log intent item attached to it. This is incorrect behavior because we cannot add more work to an object that has already been committed to the ondisk log. Therefore, change the behavior not to append to pending items with a non null dfp_intent. In practice this has not been an issue because the only way xfs_defer_add gets called after log intent items have been committed is from the defer ops ->finish_item functions themselves, and the @dop_pending isolation in xfs_defer_finish_noroll protects the pending items that have already been logged. However, the next patch will add the ability to pause a deferred extent free object during online btree rebuilding, and any new extfree work items need to have their own pending event. While we're at it, hoist the predicate to its own static inline function for readability. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
