There could be a scenario where f2fs_sync_node_pages gets
called during checkpoint, which in turn tries to flush
inline data and calls iput(). This results in deadlock as
iput() tries to hold cp_rwsem, which is already held at the
beginning by checkpoint->block_operations().
Call stack :
Thread A Thread B
f2fs_write_checkpoint()
- block_operations(sbi)
- f2fs_lock_all(sbi);
- down_write(&sbi->cp_rwsem);
- open()
- igrab()
- write() write inline data
- unlink()
- f2fs_sync_node_pages()
- if (is_inline_node(page))
- flush_inline_data()
- ilookup()
page = f2fs_pagecache_get_page()
if (!page)
goto iput_out;
iput_out:
-close()
-iput()
iput(inode);
- f2fs_evict_inode()
- f2fs_truncate_blocks()
- f2fs_lock_op()
- down_read(&sbi->cp_rwsem);

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.
