    In the above description, Btrfs direct I/O code path has not yet started
    submitting bios for file range covered by the initial ordered
    extent. Meanwhile, The fast fsync task obtains the write semaphore and
    waits for I/O on the ordered extent to get completed. However, the
    Direct I/O task is now blocked on obtaining the read semaphore.
    
    To resolve the deadlock, this commit modifies the Direct I/O code path
    to obtain the read semaphore before invoking
    __blockdev_direct_IO(). The semaphore is then given up after
    __blockdev_direct_IO() returns. This allows the Direct I/O code to
    complete I/O on all the ordered extents it creates.
