[Cluster-devel] [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.8 22/42] gfs2: add some much needed cleanup for log flushes that fail

[Sasha Levin]

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 462582b99b6079a6fbcdfc65bac49f5c2a27cfff ]

When a log flush fails due to io errors, it signals the failure but does
not clean up after itself very well. This is because buffers are added to
the transaction tr_buf and tr_databuf queue, but the io error causes
gfs2_log_flush to bypass the "after_commit" functions responsible for
dequeueing the bd elements. If the bd elements are added to the ail list
before the error, function ail_drain takes care of dequeueing them.
But if they haven't gotten that far, the elements are forgotten and
make the transactions unable to be freed.

This patch introduces new function trans_drain which drains the bd
elements from the transaction so they can be freed properly.
