The inode reclaiming process(See function prune_icache_sb) collects all
reclaimable inodes and mark them with I_FREEING flag at first, at that
time, other processes will be stuck if they try getting these inodes
(See function find_inode_fast), then the reclaiming process destroy the
inodes by function dispose_list(). Some filesystems(eg. ext4 with
ea_inode feature, ubifs with xattr) may do inode lookup in the inode
evicting callback function, if the inode lookup is operated under the
inode lru traversing context, deadlock problems may happen.

[...]

I only have some tidy-ups with stuff I neglected to mention when
typing up my proposal.

Top of evict() asserts on I_FREEING being set, used to decide it's not
legit to pin above. This dependency can be documented it in the
routine as well:

BUG_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_FREEING));

Sorry, I don't understand it, do you mean add the 'BUG_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_FREEING))' in inode_wait_for_lru_isolating()? Just like you talked, evict() already has one. So far, the inode_wait_for_lru_isolating() is called only in evict(), we can add the BUG_ON if it is called more than one places in future.>
+       spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);

This lock acquire is avoidable, which is always nice to do for
single-threaded perf. Probably can be also done for the writeback code
below. Maybe I'll massage it myself after the patch lands.

Yes, maybe inode_wait_for_writeback() and inode_wait_for_lru_isolating() can be lockless, and a smp_rmb() is needed, I think.

+       wqh = bit_waitqueue(&inode->i_state, __I_LRU_ISOLATING);
+       while (inode->i_state & I_LRU_ISOLATING) {
+               spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
+               __wait_on_bit(wqh, &wq, bit_wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
+               spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
+       }
+       spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
+}

So new arrivals *are* blocked by this point thanks to I_FREEING being
set on entry to evict(). This also means the flag can show up at most
once.

Thus instead of looping this should merely go to sleep once and assert
the I_LRU_ISOLATING flag is no longer set after waking up.

Good improvement, will change in v2.

I don't think this comment adds anything given the name of the func.

Adopt, will be deleted in v2.
