From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 53770f0ec5fd417429775ba006bc4abe14002335 upstream.
If we need to perform synchronous I/O in dm_integrity_map_continue(),
we must make sure that we are not in the map function - in order to
avoid the deadlock due to bio queuing in generic_make_request. To
avoid the deadlock, we offload the request to metadata_wq.
However, metadata_wq also processes metadata updates for write requests.
If there are too many requests that get offloaded to metadata_wq at the
beginning of dm_integrity_map_continue, the workqueue metadata_wq
becomes clogged and the system is incapable of processing any metadata
updates.
This causes a deadlock because all the requests that need to do metadata
updates wait for metadata_wq to proceed and metadata_wq waits inside
wait_and_add_new_range until some existing request releases its range
lock (which doesn't happen because the range lock is released after
metadata update).
In order to fix the deadlock, we create a new workqueue offload_wq and
offload requests to it - so that processing of offload_wq is independent
from processing of metadata_wq.
