From 5f72739583a29bfaa57448ec2c9b122995d0ae4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 10:59:45 -0800 Subject: f2fs: fix deadlock during inline_data conversion A deadlock can be occurred: Thread 1] Thread 2] - f2fs_write_data_pages - f2fs_write_begin - lock_page(page #0) - grab_cache_page(page #X) - get_node_page(inode_page) - grab_cache_page(page #0) : to convert inline_data - f2fs_write_data_page - f2fs_write_inline_data - get_node_page(inode_page) In this case, trying to lock inode_page and page #0 causes deadlock. In order to avoid this, this patch adds a rule for this locking policy, which is that page #0 should be locked followed by inode_page lock.
