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"). However 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 this through patch, but this patch also
serves as a reproducer with a high confidence. It always deadlocks.
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.
Without lockdep enabled we silently deadlock on the first run of the
test without the fix applied. With lockdep enabled you get a splat about
the possible deadlock on the first run of the test.
