From 7fc5854f8c6efae9e7624970ab49a1eac2faefb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 08:38:30 -0800 Subject: writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches sync_inodes_sb() can race against cgwb (cgroup writeback) membership switches and fail to writeback some inodes. For example, if an inode switches to another wb while sync_inodes_sb() is in progress, the new wb might not be visible to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() at all or the inode might jump from a wb which hasn't issued writebacks yet to one which already has. This patch adds backing_dev_info->wb_switch_rwsem to synchronize cgwb switch path against sync_inodes_sb() so that sync_inodes_sb() is guaranteed to see all the target wbs and inodes can't jump wbs to escape syncing. v2: Fixed misplaced rwsem init.
