Our loop in xfs_finish_page_writeback, which iterates over all buffer heads in a page and then calls end_buffer_async_write, which also iterates over all buffers in the page to check if any I/O is in flight is not only inefficient, but also potentially dangerous as end_buffer_async_write can cause the page and all buffers to be freed. Replace it with a single loop that does the work of end_buffer_async_write on a per-page basis.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
