Subject: Re: Hard lockup in ext4_finish_bio

[Adding the dm people since I believe this might be in their field as well.]

After further investigation I discovered that there was indeed a task, 
executing block_write_full_page_endio (this function is supposed to 
eventually call end_buffer_async_write which would then unblock the 
writeback flusher. Here is how its callstack is looking like:

So it in turn has also blocked on dm_bufio_lock in new_read. The owner of 
this mutex turns out to be:

So the whole picture to me looks like the following: 

For simplicity I will use the following nomenclature: 
t1 - kworker/u96:0
t2 - kworker/u98:39
t3 - kworker/u98:7

t1 issues drain_all_pages which generates IPI's, at the same time 
however, t2 has already started doing async write of pages 
as part of its normal operation but is blocked upon t1 completion of 
its IPI (generated from drain_all_pages). At the same time again, 
t3 is executing ext4_finish_bio, which disables interrupts, yet is 
dependant on t2 completing.  But since it has disabled interrupts, it
wont respond to t1's IPI and at this a hard lock up happens. This happens, 
since drain_all_pages calls on_each_cpu_mask with the last argument equal to 
"true" meaning "wait until the ipi handler has finished", which of course will never
happen in the described situation.
