[PATCH 6.1 5/6] xfs: factor out stale buffer item completion
From: Siddh Raman Pant
Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 11:21:19 EST
From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>
The stale buffer item completion handling is currently only done
from BLI unpinning. We need to perform this function from where-ever
the last reference to the BLI is dropped, so first we need to
factor this code out into a helper.
