Sahitya Tummala ce72694970 f2fs: Fix deadlock in f2fs_gc() context during atomic files handling
[ Upstream commit 677017d196ba2a4cfff13626b951cc9a206b8c7c ]

The FS got stuck in the below stack when the storage is almost
full/dirty condition (when FG_GC is being done).

schedule_timeout
io_schedule_timeout
congestion_wait
f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all
f2fs_gc
f2fs_balance_fs
__write_node_page
f2fs_fsync_node_pages
f2fs_do_sync_file
f2fs_ioctl

The root cause for this issue is there is a potential infinite loop
in f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all() for the case where gc_failure is true
and when there an inode whose i_gc_failures[GC_FAILURE_ATOMIC] is
not set. Fix this by keeping track of the total atomic files
currently opened and using that to exit from this condition.

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.
