[PATCH 13/29] xfs: make xfs_trans_alloc() support nowait semantics

From: Hao Xu
Date: Fri Aug 25 2023 - 10:02:24 EST


From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

There are locks in xfs_trans_alloc(), spot them and apply trylock logic.
Make them return -EAGAIN when it would block. To achieve this, add
nowait parameter for those functions in the path. Besides, add a generic
transaction flag XFS_TRANS_NOWAIT to deliver nowait info.
