Subject: [PATCH 5.15 780/846] f2fs: compress: fix potential deadlock of compress file

From: Hyeong-Jun Kim <hj514.kim@...sung.com>

commit 7377e853967ba45bf409e3b5536624d2cbc99f21 upstream.

There is a potential deadlock between writeback process and a process
performing write_begin() or write_cache_pages() while trying to write
same compress file, but not compressable, as below:

[Process A] - doing checkpoint
[Process B]                     [Process C]
f2fs_write_cache_pages()
- lock_page() [all pages in cluster, 0-31]
- f2fs_write_multi_pages()
 - f2fs_write_raw_pages()
  - f2fs_write_single_data_page()
   - f2fs_do_write_data_page()
     - return -EAGAIN [f2fs_trylock_op() failed]
   - unlock_page(page) [e.g., page 0]
                                - generic_perform_write()
                                 - f2fs_write_begin()
                                  - f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite()
                                   - prepare_compress_overwrite()
                                    - lock_page() [e.g., page 0]
                                    - lock_page() [e.g., page 1]
   - lock_page(page) [e.g., page 0]

Since there is no compress process, it is no longer necessary to hold
locks on every pages in cluster within f2fs_write_raw_pages().

This patch changes f2fs_write_raw_pages() to release all locks first
and then perform write same as the non-compress file in
f2fs_write_cache_pages().
