[patch 4/5] btrfs: add nofail variant of set_extent_dirty

From: David Rientjes
Date: Tue Aug 24 2010 - 08:48:00 EST


Add set_extent_dirty_nofail(). This function is equivalent to
set_extent_dirty(), except that it will never fail because of allocation
failure and instead loop forever trying to allocate memory.

If the first allocation attempt fails, a warning will be emitted,
including a call trace. Subsequent failures will suppress this warning.

This was added as a helper function for documentation and auditability.
No future callers should be added.
