694 * @xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk takes an array of log items that all need to
695 * removed from the AIL. The caller is already holding the AIL lock, and done
696 * all the checks necessary to ensure the items passed in via @log_items are
697 * ready for deletion. This includes checking that the items are in the AIL.
699 * For each log item to be removed, unlink it from the AIL, clear the IN_AIL
700 * flag from the item and reset the item's lsn to 0. If we remove the first
701 * item in the AIL, update the log tail to match the new minimum LSN in the
702 * AIL.
704 * This function will not drop the AIL lock until all items are removed from
705 * the AIL to minimise the amount of lock traffic on the AIL. This does not
706 * greatly increase the AIL hold time, but does significantly reduce the amount
707 * of traffic on the lock, especially during IO completion.
709 * This function must be called with the AIL lock held. The lock is dropped
710 * before returning.
