Merge tag 'iomap-5.17-fixes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux
Pull iomap fix from Darrick Wong: "A single bugfix for iomap. The fix should eliminate occasional complaints about stall warnings when a lot of writeback IO completes all at once and we have to then go clearing status on a large number of folios. Summary: - Limit the length of ioend chains in writeback so that we don't trip the softlockup watchdog and to limit long tail latency on clearing PageWriteback" * tag 'iomap-5.17-fixes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux: xfs, iomap: limit individual ioend chain lengths in writeback
