From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: fs: fix lru_cache_disabled race in bh_lru
Check lru_cache_disabled under bh_lru_lock. Otherwise, it could introduce
race below and it fails to migrate pages containing buffer_head.
CPU 0 CPU 1
bh_lru_install
lru_cache_disable
lru_cache_disabled = false
atomic_inc(&lru_disable_count);
invalidate_bh_lrus_cpu of CPU 0
bh_lru_lock
__invalidate_bh_lrus
bh_lru_unlock
bh_lru_lock
install the bh
bh_lru_unlock
WHen this race happens a CMA allocation fails, which is critical for
the workload which depends on CMA.
