Checking btree_node_may_write() isn't atomic with the other btree flags, dirty and need_write in particular. There was a rare race where we'd unblock a node from writing while __btree_node_flush() was setting need_write, and no thread would notice that the node was now both able to write and needed to be written. Fix this by adding btree node flags for will_make_reachable and write_blocked that can be checked in the cmpxchg loop in __bch2_btree_node_write.

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.
