Btrfs: fix deadlock on page lock when doing auto-defragment When I ran xfstests circularly on a auto-defragment btrfs, the deadlock happened. Steps to reproduce: [tty0] # export MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o autodefrag" # export TEST_DEV=<partition1> # export TEST_DIR=<mountpoint1> # export SCRATCH_DEV=<partition2> # export SCRATCH_MNT=<mountpoint2> # while [ 1 ] > do > ./check 091 127 263 > sleep 1 > done [tty1] # while [ 1 ] > do > echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches > done Several hours later, the test processes will hang on, and the deadlock will happen on page lock. The reason is that: Auto defrag task Flush thread Test task btrfs_writepages() add ordered extent (including page 1, 2) set page 1 writeback set page 2 writeback endio_fn() end page 2 writeback release page 2 lock page 1 alloc and lock page 2 page 2 is not uptodate btrfs_readpage() start ordered extent() btrfs_writepages() try to lock page 1 so deadlock happens. Fix this bug by unlocking the page which is in writeback, and re-locking it after the writeback end. Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miax@cn.fujitsu.com>
