xfs: PF_FSTRANS should never be set in ->writepage
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that we reject direct reclaim in addition to always using GFP_NOFS
allocation there's no chance we'll ever end up in ->writepage with
PF_FSTRANS set.  Add a WARN_ON if we hit this case, and stop checking
if we'd actually need to start a transaction.
