When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so, if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to disk and never unlocked. This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL, but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when the IO device comes back to normal. I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a filesystem larger than the real device. When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry forever' configuration is set). At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all (once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked), even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size. This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

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.
