Chandan Babu R b6c2b6378d xfs: fix EFI recovery livelocks
This series fixes a customer-reported transaction reservation bug
 introduced ten years ago that could result in livelocks during log
 recovery.  Log intent item recovery single-steps each step of a deferred
 op chain, which means that each step only needs to allocate one
 transaction's worth of space in the log, not an entire chain all at
 once.  This single-stepping is critical to unpinning the log tail since
 there's nobody else to do it for us.
 
 This has been lightly tested with fstests.  Enjoy!

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
