FWIW, I think this code could be simplified to just assign tail_lsn
directly via the new helper and pass that value into
xfs_ail_update_finish() below. I doubt filtering out that extra lsn
comparison with the mlip check makes much difference when we're already
doing a bulk insertion and referencing every lip along the way. That's
just a nit though. Otherwise looks fine to me:
