Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.6 010/129] f2fs: fix the panic in do_checkpoint()

From: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@...eaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit bf22c3cc8ce71454dddd772284773306a68031d8 ]

There could be a scenario where f2fs_sync_meta_pages() will not
ensure that all F2FS_DIRTY_META pages are submitted for IO. Thus,
resulting in the below panic in do_checkpoint() -

f2fs_bug_on(sbi, get_pages(sbi, F2FS_DIRTY_META) &&
				!f2fs_cp_error(sbi));

This can happen in a low-memory condition, where shrinker could
also be doing the writepage operation (stack shown below)
at the same time when checkpoint is running on another core.

schedule
down_write
f2fs_submit_page_write -> by this time, this page in page cache is tagged
			as PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
			is cleared, due to which f2fs_sync_meta_pages()
			cannot sync this page in do_checkpoint() path.
f2fs_do_write_meta_page
__f2fs_write_meta_page
f2fs_write_meta_page
shrink_page_list
shrink_inactive_list
shrink_node_memcg
shrink_node
kswapd
