      writeback: fix writeback completion notifications · 7f0e7bed
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      The code dealing with bdi_work->state and completion of a bdi_work is a
      major mess currently.  This patch makes sure we directly use one set of
      flags to deal with it, and use it consistently, which means:
      
       - always notify about completion from the rcu callback.  We only ever
         wait for it from on-stack callers, so this simplification does not
         even cause a theoretical slowdown currently.  It also makes sure we
         don't miss out on the notification if we ever add other callers to
         wait for it.
       - make earlier completion notification depending on the on-stack
         allocation, not the sync mode.  If we introduce new callers that
         want to do WB_SYNC_NONE writeback from on-stack callers this will
         be nessecary.
      
      Also rename bdi_wait_on_work_clear to bdi_wait_on_work_done and inline
      a few small functions into their only caller to make the code
      understandable.
