    xfs: modify buffer item reference counting · 64fc35de
    Dave Chinner 提交于
    The buffer log item reference counts used to take referenceѕ for every
    transaction, similar to the pin counting. This is symmetric (like the
    pin/unpin) with respect to transaction completion, but with dleayed logging
    becomes assymetric as the pinning becomes assymetric w.r.t. transaction
    completion.
    
    To make both cases the same, allow the buffer pinning to take a reference to
    the buffer log item and always drop the reference the transaction has on it
    when being unlocked. This is balanced correctly because the unpin operation
    always drops a reference to the log item. Hence reference counting becomes
    symmetric w.r.t. item pinning as well as w.r.t active transactions and as a
    result the reference counting model remain consistent between normal and
    delayed logging.
