What has happened here is that the AIL push thread has raced with the inodegc process modifying, committing and pinning the inode cluster buffer here in xfs_buf_delwri_submit_buffers() here: blk_start_plug(&plug); list_for_each_entry_safe(bp, n, buffer_list, b_list) { if (!wait_list) { if (xfs_buf_ispinned(bp)) { pinned++; continue; } Here >>>>>> if (!xfs_buf_trylock(bp)) continue; Basically, the AIL has found the buffer wasn't pinned and got the lock without blocking, but then the buffer was pinned. This implies the processing here was pre-empted between the pin check and the lock, because the pin count can only be increased while holding the buffer locked. Hence when it has gone to submit the IO, it has blocked waiting for the buffer to be unpinned. With all executing threads now waiting on the buffer to be unpinned, we normally get out of situations like this via the background log worker issuing a log force which will unpinned stuck buffers like this. But at this point in recovery, we haven't started the log worker. In fact, the first thing we do after processing intents and unlinked inodes is *start the log worker*. IOWs, we start it too late to have it break deadlocks like this. Avoid this and any other similar deadlock vectors in intent and unlinked inode recovery by starting the log worker before we recover intents and unlinked inodes. This part of recovery runs as though the filesystem is fully active, so we really should have the same infrastructure running as we normally do at runtime.
