--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 344150999b7fc88502a65bbb147a47503eca2033 ]
Quoted from Jing Xia's report, there is a potential deadlock may happen between kworker and checkpoint as below:
[T:writeback] [T:checkpoint] - wb_writeback - blk_start_plug bio contains NodeA was plugged in writeback threads - do_writepages -- sync write inodeB, inc wb_sync_req[DATA] - f2fs_write_data_pages - f2fs_write_single_data_page -- write last dirty page - f2fs_do_write_data_page - set_page_writeback -- clear page dirty flag and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag in radix tree - f2fs_outplace_write_data - f2fs_update_data_blkaddr - f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback -- wait NodeA to writeback here - inode_dec_dirty_pages - writeback_sb_inodes - writeback_single_inode - do_writepages - f2fs_write_data_pages -- skip writepages due to wb_sync_req[DATA] - wbc->pages_skipped += get_dirty_pages() -- PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY is not set but get_dirty_pages() returns one - requeue_inode -- requeue inode to wb->b_dirty queue due to non-zero.pages_skipped - blk_finish_plug
Let's try to avoid deadlock condition by forcing unplugging previous bio via blk_finish_plug(current->plug) once we'v skipped writeback in writepages() due to valid sbi->wb_sync_req[DATA/NODE].
