xfs_buf_find() is made up of three main parts: lookup, insert and locking. The interactions with xfs_buf_get_map() require it to be called twice - once for a pure lookup, and again on lookup failure so the insert path can be run. We want to simplify this down a lot, so split it into a fast path lookup, a slow path insert and a "lock the found buffer" helper. This will then let us integrate these operations more effectively into xfs_buf_get_map() in future patches. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
