Running compaction while we run fsstress can crash older kernels as per
korg#218227 [0], the fix for that [0] has been posted [1] that patch
was merged on v6.9-rc6 fixed by commit d99e3140a4d3 ("mm: turn
folio_test_hugetlb into a PageType"). This test reproduces that crash
right away.
But we have more work to do ...
Even on v6.10-rc2 where this kernel commit is already merged we can
still deadlock when running fsstress and at the same time triggering
compaction, this is a new issue being reported now through this patch,
but this patch also serves as a reproducer with a high confidence. At
least for XFS running this test ~ 44 times will deadlock.
If you enable CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING with the defaults you will end up
with a complaint about increasing MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS [1], if
you adjust that you then end up with a few soft lockup complaints and
some possible deadlock candidates to evaluate [2].
Provide a simple reproducer and pave the way so we keep on testing this.
