f2fs: compress: fix potential deadlock of compress file
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().
Fixes: 4c8ff70 ("f2fs: support data compression")
