Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 42/65] writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches
From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>
[ Upstream commit 7fc5854f8c6efae9e7624970ab49a1eac2faefb1 ]
sync_inodes_sb() can race against cgwb (cgroup writeback) membership
switches and fail to writeback some inodes. For example, if an inode
switches to another wb while sync_inodes_sb() is in progress, the new
wb might not be visible to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() at all or the inode
might jump from a wb which hasn't issued writebacks yet to one which
already has.
This patch adds backing_dev_info->wb_switch_rwsem to synchronize cgwb
switch path against sync_inodes_sb() so that sync_inodes_sb() is
guaranteed to see all the target wbs and inodes can't jump wbs to
escape syncing.
v2: Fixed misplaced rwsem init. Spotted by Jiufei.
