Subject: [PATCH 5.4 217/411] fs-writeback: writeback_sb_inodes：Recalculate wrote according skipped pages
From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@...wei.com>
commit 68f4c6eba70df70a720188bce95c85570ddfcc87 upstream.
Commit 505a666ee3fc ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and
writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during wb_writeback, which
may cause a potential ABBA dead lock:
wb_writeback fat_file_fsync
blk_start_plug(&plug)
for (;;) {
iter i-1: some reqs have been added into plug->mq_list // LOCK A
iter i:
progress = __writeback_inodes_wb(wb, work)
. writeback_sb_inodes // fat's bdev
. __writeback_single_inode
. . generic_writepages
. . __block_write_full_page
. . . . __generic_file_fsync
. . . . sync_inode_metadata
. . . . writeback_single_inode
. . . . __writeback_single_inode
. . . . fat_write_inode
. . . . __fat_write_inode
. . . . sync_dirty_buffer // fat's bdev
. . . . lock_buffer(bh) // LOCK B
. . . . submit_bh
. . . . blk_mq_get_tag // LOCK A
. . . trylock_buffer(bh) // LOCK B
. . . redirty_page_for_writepage
. . . wbc->pages_skipped++
. . --wbc->nr_to_write
. wrote += write_chunk - wbc.nr_to_write // wrote > 0
. requeue_inode
. redirty_tail_locked
if (progress) // progress > 0
continue;
iter i+1:
queue_io
// similar process with iter i, infinite for-loop !
}
blk_finish_plug(&plug) // flush plug won't be called
Above process triggers a hungtask like:

In my test, 'need_resched()' (which is imported by 590dca3a71 "fs-writeback:
unplug before cond_resched in writeback_sb_inodes") in function
'writeback_sb_inodes()' seldom comes true, unless cond_resched() is deleted
from write_cache_pages().
Fix it by correcting wrote number according number of skipped pages
in writeback_sb_inodes().
