There is a potential deadlock between writeback process and a process performing write_begin() or write_cache_pages() while trying to write same compress file, but not compressable, as below: [Process A] - doing checkpoint [Process B] [Process C] f2fs_write_cache_pages() - lock_page() [all pages in cluster, 0-31] - f2fs_write_multi_pages() - f2fs_write_raw_pages() - f2fs_write_single_data_page() - f2fs_do_write_data_page() - return -EAGAIN [f2fs_trylock_op() failed] - unlock_page(page) [e.g., page 0] - generic_perform_write() - f2fs_write_begin() - f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() - prepare_compress_overwrite() - lock_page() [e.g., page 0] - lock_page() [e.g., page 1] - lock_page(page) [e.g., page 0] Since there is no compress process, it is no longer necessary to hold locks on every pages in cluster within f2fs_write_raw_pages(). This patch changes f2fs_write_raw_pages() to release all locks first and then perform write same as the non-compress file in f2fs_write_cache_pages().
