Subject: [PATCH 5.10 18/33] fuse: make sure reclaim doesnt write the inode

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit 5c791fe1e2a4f401f819065ea4fc0450849f1818 upstream.

In writeback cache mode mtime/ctime updates are cached, and flushed to the
server using the ->write_inode() callback.

Closing the file will result in a dirty inode being immediately written,
but in other cases the inode can remain dirty after all references are
dropped.  This result in the inode being written back from reclaim, which
can deadlock on a regular allocation while the request is being served.

The usual mechanisms (GFP_NOFS/PF_MEMALLOC*) don't work for FUSE, because
serving a request involves unrelated userspace process(es).

Instead do the same as for dirty pages: make sure the inode is written
before the last reference is gone.

 - fallocate(2)/copy_file_range(2): these call file_update_time() or
   file_modified(), so flush the inode before returning from the call

 - unlink(2), link(2) and rename(2): these call fuse_update_ctime(), so
   flush the ctime directly from this helper
