xfs: defered work could create precommits
To fix a AGI-AGF-inode cluster buffer deadlock, we need to move inode cluster buffer operations to the ->iop_precommit() method. However, this means that deferred operations can require precommits to be run on the final transaction that the deferred ops pass back to xfs_trans_commit() context. This will be exposed by attribute handling, in that the last changes to the inode in the attr set state machine "disappear" because the precommit operation is not run.

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.
