    xfs: add log item pinning error injection tag · 7f4d01f3
    Brian Foster authored
    Add an error injection tag to force log items in the AIL to the
    pinned state. This option can be used by test infrastructure to
    induce head behind tail conditions. Specifically, this is intended
    to be used by xfstests to reproduce log recovery problems after
    failed/corrupted log writes overwrite the last good tail LSN in the
    log.
    
    When enabled, AIL push attempts see log items in the AIL in the
    pinned state. This stalls metadata writeback and thus prevents the
    current tail of the log from moving forward. When disabled,
    subsequent AIL pushes observe the log items in their appropriate
    state and filesystem operation continues as normal.
