[ Upstream commit 96bf313ecb33567af4cb53928b0c951254a02759 ]
There exists a deadlock with range_cyclic that has existed forever. If
we loop around with a bio already built we could deadlock with a writer
who has the page locked that we're attempting to write but is waiting on
a page in our bio to be written out. The task traces are as follows

I used drgn to find the respective pages we were stuck on
page_entry.page 0xffffea00fbfc7500 index 8148 bit 15 pid 2167901
page_entry.page 0xffffea00f9bb7400 index 7680 bit 0 pid 1329874
As you can see the kworker is waiting for bit 0 (PG_locked) on index
7680, and aio-dio-invalid is waiting for bit 15 (PG_writeback) on index
8148. aio-dio-invalid has 7680, and the kworker epd looks like the
following
crash> struct extent_page_data ffffc900297bbbb0
struct extent_page_data {
bio = 0xffff889f747ed830,
tree = 0xffff889eed6ba448,
extent_locked = 0,
sync_io = 0
}
Probably worth mentioning as well that it waits for writeback of the
page to complete while holding a lock on it (at prepare_pages()).
Using drgn I walked the bio pages looking for page
0xffffea00fbfc7500 which is the one we're waiting for writeback on
bio = Object(prog, 'struct bio', address=0xffff889f747ed830)
for i in range(0, bio.bi_vcnt.value_()):
bv = bio.bi_io_vec[i]
if bv.bv_page.value_() == 0xffffea00fbfc7500:
print("FOUND IT")
which validated what I suspected.
The fix for this is simple, flush the epd before we loop back around to
the beginning of the file during writeout.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
