+ *
+ * (*) dgc: I don't think the clean, pinned state is possible but it gets
+ * handled anyway given the order of checks implemented.
+ *
+ * As can be seen from the table, the return value of xfs_iflush() is not
+ * sufficient to correctly decide the reclaim action here. The checks in
+ * xfs_iflush() might look like duplicates, but they are not.
+ *
+ * Also, because we get the flush lock first, we know that any inode that has
+ * been flushed delwri has had the flush completed by the time we check that
+ * the inode is clean. The clean inode check needs to be done before flushing
+ * the inode delwri otherwise we would loop forever requeuing clean inodes as
+ * we cannot tell apart a successful delwri flush and a clean inode from the
+ * return value of xfs_iflush().
+ *
+ * Note that because the inode is flushed delayed write by background
+ * writeback, the flush lock may already be held here and waiting on it can
+ * result in very long latencies. Hence for sync reclaims, where we wait on the
+ * flush lock, the caller should push out delayed write inodes first before
+ * trying to reclaim them to minimise the amount of time spent waiting. For
+ * background relaim, we just requeue the inode for the next pass.
+ *
+ * Hence the order of actions after gaining the locks should be:
+ *      bad             => reclaim
+ *      shutdown        => unpin and reclaim
+ *      pinned, delwri  => requeue
+ *      pinned, sync    => unpin
+ *      stale           => reclaim
+ *      clean           => reclaim
+ *      dirty, delwri   => flush and requeue
+ *      dirty, sync     => flush, wait and reclaim
