Subject: [PATCH 2/5] f2fs: fix potential recursive call when enabling data_flush
As Hagbard Celine reported:
Hi, this is a long standing bug that I've hit before on older kernels,
but I was not able to get the syslog saved because of the nature of
the bug. This time I had booted form a pen-drive, and was able to save
the log to it's efi-partition.
What i did to trigger it was to create a partition and format it f2fs,
then mount it with options:
"rw,relatime,lazytime,background_gc=on,disable_ext_identify,discard,heap,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,inline_dentry,flush_merge,data_flush,extent_cache,mode=adaptive,active_logs=6,whint_mode=fs-based,alloc_mode=default,fsync_mode=strict".
Then I unpacked a big .tar.xz to the partition (I used a
gentoo-stage3-tarball as I was in process of installing Gentoo).
Same options just without data_flush gives no problems.

The root cause is that we run into an infinite recursive calling in
between f2fs_balance_fs_bg and writepage() as described below:
- f2fs_write_data_pages --- A
- __write_data_page
- f2fs_balance_fs
- f2fs_balance_fs_bg --- B
- f2fs_sync_dirty_inodes
- filemap_fdatawrite
- f2fs_write_data_pages --- A
...
- f2fs_balance_fs_bg --- B
...
In order to fix this issue, let's detect such condition in __write_data_page()
and just skip calling f2fs_balance_fs() recursively.
