Qu Wenruo c83d77eb0f btrfs: properly wait for writeback before buffered write
[BUG]
Before commit e820dbeb6a ("btrfs: convert btrfs_buffered_write() to
use folios"), function prepare_one_folio() will always wait for folio
writeback to finish before returning the folio.

However commit e820dbeb6a ("btrfs: convert btrfs_buffered_write() to
use folios") changed to use FGP_STABLE to do the writeback wait, but
FGP_STABLE is calling folio_wait_stable(), which only calls
folio_wait_writeback() if the address space has AS_STABLE_WRITES, which
is not set for btrfs inodes.

This means we will not wait for the folio writeback at all.

[CAUSE]
The cause is FGP_STABLE is not waiting for writeback unconditionally, but
only for address spaces with AS_STABLE_WRITES, normally such flag is set
when the super block has SB_I_STABLE_WRITES flag.

Such super block flag is set when the block device has hardware digest
support or has internal checksum requirement.

I'd argue btrfs should set such super block due to its default data
checksum behavior, but it is not set yet, so this means FGP_STABLE flag
will have no effect at all.

(For NODATASUM inodes, we can skip the waiting in theory but that should
be an optimization in the future.)

This can lead to data checksum mismatch, as we can modify the folio
while it's still under writeback, this will make the contents differ
from the contents at submission and checksum calculation.

[FIX]
Instead of fully relying on FGP_STABLE, manually do the folio writeback
waiting, until we set the address space or super flag.

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 reStructuredText 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.
