Hello all,
We have a system running a 5.15 kernel with the following errors in dmesg
displaying repeatedly. Ultimately the system crashed so I'll reset
it---but I was able to get some good information out of it before it died
so maybe we can pin it down. This happened under high CPU and disk load:

Clearly there are many write_dirty_finish() calls stuck, here are some
traces:
I did `cat /proc/<pid>/stack` for each bcache workqueue PID and these
are the unique stacks:
dmesg | grep in-flight | \
perl -lne 'while(/(\d+):((write_dirty|bch|btree)\S+)/g) { print "$1 $2" }' | \
sort -u | \
while read a b; do echo === $a $b ; cat /proc/$a/stack; done
Which prints lots of these:
=== 3253: write_dirty_finish
[<0>] rwsem_down_write_slowpath+0x27b/0x4bd
[<0>] bch_btree_node_get.part.0+0x7e/0x2d7 <<<, _probably_ called with write=true

[<0>] kthread+0x127/0x144

and one of these:
=== 6295 bch_data_insert_keys
[<0>] bch_btree_insert_node+0x6b/0x287
[<0>] btree_insert_fn+0x20/0x48

[<0>] kthread+0x127/0x144
[<0>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x2d
Note that above, both threads (workqueues) are similar until they call
bch_btree_map_nodes_recurse(), then they diverge where one is doing
bch_btree_insert_node(), which holds b->write_lock:
bch_btree_insert_node
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/md/bcache/btree.c#L2322
and the other is trying bch_btree_node_get(). While I don't have debug
data about the arguments, I am guessing that bch_btree_node_get is
called with `write=true` since the caller is bch_btree_insert:
/* bch_btree_node_get - find a btree node in the cache and lock it, reading it
* in from disk if necessary. */
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4/source/drivers/md/bcache/btree.c#L969
The call to bch_btree_node_get() does quite a bit of rw_lock/rw_unlock/mutex work.
There are also two of the traces below which are waiting on a down():
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/md/bcache/btree.c#L420
These could be relevant since __bch_btree_node_write() does call
`lockdep_assert_held(&b->write_lock)` and b->write_lock is held above by
bch_btree_insert_node:

Thanks for your help!
