ubifs: Fix deadlock in concurrent bulk-read and writepage
In ubifs, concurrent execution of writepage and bulk read on the same file may cause ABBA deadlock, for example (Reproduce method see Link): Process A(Bulk-read starts from page4) Process B(write page4 back) vfs_read wb_workfn or fsync ... ... generic_file_buffered_read write_cache_pages ubifs_readpage LOCK(page4) ubifs_bulk_read ubifs_writepage LOCK(ui->ui_mutex) ubifs_write_inode ubifs_do_bulk_read LOCK(ui->ui_mutex) find_or_create_page(alloc page4) ↑ LOCK(page4) <-- ABBA deadlock occurs! In order to ensure the serialization execution of bulk read, we can't remove the big lock 'ui->ui_mutex' in ubifs_bulk_read(). Instead, we allow ubifs_do_bulk_read() to lock page failed by replacing find_or_create_page(FGP_LOCK) with pagecache_get_page(FGP_LOCK | FGP_NOWAIT).
