xfs_trans_log_buf() is responsible for logging the dirty segments of a buffer along with setting all of the necessary state on the transaction, buffer, bli, etc., to ensure that the associated items are marked as dirty and prepared for I/O. We have a couple use cases that need to to dirty a buffer in a transaction without actually logging dirty ranges of the buffer. One existing use case is ordered buffers, which are currently logged with arbitrary ranges to accomplish this even though the content of ordered buffers is never written to the log. Another pending use case is to relog an already dirty buffer across rolled transactions within the deferred operations infrastructure. This is required to prevent a held (XFS_BLI_HOLD) buffer from pinning the tail of the log. Refactor xfs_trans_log_buf() into a new function that contains all of the logic responsible to dirty the transaction, lidp, buffer and bli. This new function can be used in the future for the use cases outlined above. This patch does not introduce functional changes.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
