o Deadlock case #1 Thread 1: - writeback_sb_inodes - do_writepages - f2fs_write_data_pages - write_cache_pages - f2fs_write_data_page - f2fs_balance_fs - wait mutex_lock(gc_mutex) Thread 2: - f2fs_balance_fs - mutex_lock(gc_mutex) - f2fs_gc - f2fs_iget - wait iget_locked(inode->i_lock) Thread 3: - do_unlinkat - iput - lock(inode->i_lock) - evict - inode_wait_for_writeback o Deadlock case #2 Thread 1: - __writeback_single_inode : set I_SYNC - do_writepages - f2fs_write_data_page - f2fs_balance_fs - f2fs_gc - iput - evict - inode_wait_for_writeback(I_SYNC) In order to avoid this, even though iput is called with the zero-reference count, we need to stop the eviction procedure if the inode is on writeback. So this patch links f2fs_drop_inode which checks the I_SYNC flag. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
