This patch fixes a deadlock bug that occurs quite often when there are concurrent write and fsync on a same file. Following is the simplified call trace when tasks get hung. fsync thread: - f2fs_sync_file ... - f2fs_write_data_pages ... - update_extent_cache ... - update_inode - wait_on_page_writeback bdi writeback thread - __writeback_single_inode - f2fs_write_data_pages - mutex_lock(sbi->writepages) The deadlock happens when the fsync thread waits on a inode page that has been added to the f2fs' cached bio sbi->bio[NODE], and unfortunately, no one else could be able to submit the cached bio to block layer for writeback. This is because the fsync thread already hold a sbi->fs_lock and the sbi->writepages lock, causing the bdi thread being blocked when attempt to write data pages for the same inode. At the same time, f2fs_gc thread does not notice the situation and could not help. Even the sync syscall gets blocked. To fix it, we could submit the cached bio first before waiting on a inode page that is being written back.
