Chao Yu 2bebc6dcd3 f2fs: compress: fix potential deadlock
[ Upstream commit 3afae09ffe ]

generic/269 reports a hangtask issue, the root cause is ABBA deadlock
described as below:

Thread A			Thread B
- down_write(&sbi->gc_lock) -- A
				- f2fs_write_data_pages
				 - lock all pages in cluster -- B
				 - f2fs_write_multi_pages
				  - f2fs_write_raw_pages
				   - f2fs_write_single_data_page
				    - f2fs_balance_fs
				     - down_write(&sbi->gc_lock) -- A
- f2fs_gc
 - do_garbage_collect
  - ra_data_block
   - pagecache_get_page -- B

To fix this, it needs to avoid calling f2fs_balance_fs() if there is
still cluster pages been locked in context of cluster writeback, so
instead, let's call f2fs_balance_fs() in the end of
f2fs_write_raw_pages() when all cluster pages were unlocked.

Fixes: 4c8ff7095b ("f2fs: support data compression")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
