Dave Chinner 617825fe34 xfs: remove IO submission from xfs_reclaim_inode()
We no longer need to issue IO from shrinker based inode reclaim to
prevent spurious OOM killer invocation. This leaves only the global
filesystem management operations such as unmount needing to
writeback dirty inodes and reclaim them.

Instead of using the reclaim pass to write dirty inodes before
reclaiming them, use the AIL to push all the dirty inodes before we
try to reclaim them. This allows us to remove all the conditional
SYNC_WAIT locking and the writeback code from xfs_reclaim_inode()
and greatly simplify the checks we need to do to reclaim an inode.

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.
