Subject: [PATCH 06/38] xfs: factor xfs_blockgc_start_flush() from xfs_blockgc_flush_all()
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:12:09 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819001442.1451892-7-dgc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819001442.1451892-1-dgc@kernel.org>

Factor xfs_blockgc_start_flush() out of xfs_blockgc_flush_all() to
provide an async variant that kicks the per-AG background blockgc
workers without waiting for them to complete.

xfs_blockgc_flush_all() uses synchronous flush_delayed_work() calls
to wait for the blockgc workers and inodegc to finish. This cannot
be used from contexts that hold the ILOCK because the blockgc
workers need to take the ILOCK to scan inodes for reclaimable
speculative preallocations, and the inode we hold the ILOCK on pins
journal space that the workers need to run transactions.
