When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time. Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly dirtied inode. Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid blocking or extra I/O being issued.
