writeback: restructure try_writeback_inodes_sb[_nr]()

Browse source

try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() wraps writeback_inodes_sb_nr() so that it
handles s_umount locking and skips if writeback is already in
progress.  The in progress test is performed on the root wb
(bdi_writeback) which isn't sufficient for cgroup writeback support.
The test must be done per-wb.

To prepare for the change, this patch factors out
__writeback_inodes_sb_nr() from writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and adds
@skip_if_busy and moves the in progress test right before queueing the
wb_writeback_work.  try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() now just grabs
s_umount and invokes __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() with asserted
@skip_if_busy.  This way, later addition of multiple wb handling can
skip only the wb's which already have writeback in progress.

This swaps the order between in progress test and s_umount test which
can flip the return value when writeback is in progress and s_umount
is being held by someone else but this shouldn't cause any meaningful
difference.  It's a fringe condition and the return value is an
unsynchronized hint anyway.
