writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() is re-implemented by replacing down_read() with down_read_trylock() because - If ->s_umount is write locked, then the sb is not idle. That is writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() needn't wait for the lock. - writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() grabs s_umount lock when it want to start writeback, it may bring us deadlock problem when doing umount. (Ex. Btrfs has such a problem, see the following URL http://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=133540923510561&w=2) The name of these two functions is cumbersome, so rename them to try_to_writeback_inodes_sb(_nr). This idea came from Christoph Hellwig. Some code is from the patch of Kamal Mostafa. Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> --- Many users who use btrfs met the deadlock problem caused by writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle(), so I send this patch again and hope it will be received as soon as possible if nobody objects. --- fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c | 4 ++-- fs/ext4/inode.c | 2 +- fs/fs-writeback.c | 45 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- include/linux/writeback.h | 6 +++--- 4 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-)
