btrfs: fix dead lock while running replace and defrag concurrently
This can be reproduced by fstests: btrfs/070 The scenario is like the following: replace worker thread defrag thread --------------------- ------------- copy_nocow_pages_worker btrfs_defrag_file copy_nocow_pages_for_inode ... btrfs_writepages |A| lock_extent_bits extent_write_cache_pages |B| lock_page __extent_writepage ... writepage_delalloc find_lock_delalloc_range |B| lock_extent_bits find_or_create_page pagecache_get_page |A| lock_page This leads to an ABBA pattern deadlock. To fix it, o we just change it to an AABB pattern which means to @unlock_extent_bits() before we @lock_page(), and in this way the @extent_read_full_page_nolock() is no longer in an locked context, so change it back to @extent_read_full_page() to regain protection. o Since we @unlock_extent_bits() earlier, then before @write_page_nocow(), the extent may not really point at the physical block we want, so we have to check it before write.
