Well, originally it was just fs operations vs page faults, but it
also had the (XFS internal) property of serialise operations against
other fs-driven invalidations and breaking layout leases (e.g.
xfs_break_dax_layouts(), xfs_ilock2_io_mmap() from
xfs_reflink_remap_prep(), etc)

Details are a bit fuzzy, but ISTR that I wrote this iomap code with
the assumption that holding the invalidate_lock also serialises
against other invalidation operations - it was originally based on
the XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL being held, so that likely bled over.

I don't think drop_caches has proper serialisation against anything.

If we go back to before we have background inode inactivation, and
drop caches could deadlock against filesystem freeze because it
calls the shrinker which runs transactions whilst holding the
s_umount lock so thaw can't unfreeze the filesystem. Any filesystem
that does an operation in ->evict or ->destroy_inode as called from
memory reclaim context that can be blocked by a frozen fs state can
trip over this.

In reality, drop_caches was only supposed to be a debug-only
interface and so it's never really been designed/coded to be
properly safe against anything.  Hence I think this is drop_caches
bug more than it is a iomap bug...

That old mechanism never really worked reliably. Just look
at the constant stream of "we broke truncate" bugs that we used to
have to deal with. They've dropped right off now that most
filesystems use the invalidate lock for truncate serialisation
rather than the old "lock, check mapping, check i_size, unlock,
retry" loop that people were also struggling to get right.
