- * Inodes in different states need to be treated differently. The following

- * --------------- ---------- ---------------
- * bad - reclaim

- * clean, unpinned 0 reclaim
- * stale, unpinned 0 reclaim
- * clean, pinned(*) 0 requeue
- * stale, pinned EAGAIN requeue
- * dirty, async - requeue
- * dirty, sync 0 reclaim
+ * Inode reclaim is non-blocking, so the default action if progress cannot be
+ * made is to "requeue" the inode for reclaim by unlocking it and clearing the
+ * XFS_IRECLAIM flag. If we are in a shutdown state, we don't care about
+ * blocking anymore and hence we can wait for the inode to be able to reclaim
+ * it.
*
- * (*) dgc: I don't think the clean, pinned state is possible but it gets
- * handled anyway given the order of checks implemented.
- *
- * Also, because we get the flush lock first, we know that any inode that has
- * been flushed delwri has had the flush completed by the time we check that
- * the inode is clean.
- *
- * Note that because the inode is flushed delayed write by AIL pushing, the
- * flush lock may already be held here and waiting on it can result in very
- * long latencies. Hence for sync reclaims, where we wait on the flush lock,
- * the caller should push the AIL first before trying to reclaim inodes to
- * minimise the amount of time spent waiting. For background relaim, we only
- * bother to reclaim clean inodes anyway.
- *
- * Hence the order of actions after gaining the locks should be:
- * bad => reclaim
- * shutdown => unpin and reclaim
- * pinned, async => requeue
- * pinned, sync => unpin
- * stale => reclaim
- * clean => reclaim
- * dirty, async => requeue
- * dirty, sync => flush, wait and reclaim
+ * We do no IO here - if callers require inodes to be cleaned they must push the
+ * AIL first to trigger writeback of dirty inodes. This enables writeback to be
+ * done in the background in a non-blocking manner, and enables memory reclaim
+ * to make progress without blocking.
