Wu Fengguang 6e6938b6d3 writeback: introduce .tagged_writepages for the WB_SYNC_NONE sync stage ... sync(2) is performed in two stages: the WB_SYNC_NONE sync and the WB_SYNC_ALL sync. Identify the first stage with .tagged_writepages and do livelock prevention for it, too. Jan's commit f446daaea9 ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") is a partial fix in that it only fixed the WB_SYNC_ALL phase livelock. Although ext4 is tested to no longer livelock with commit f446daaea9, it may due to some "redirty_tail() after pages_skipped" effect which is by no means a guarantee for _all_ the file systems. Note that writeback_inodes_sb() is called by not only sync(), they are treated the same because the other callers also need livelock prevention. Impact: It changes the order in which pages/inodes are synced to disk. Now in the WB_SYNC_NONE stage, it won't proceed to write the next inode until finished with the current inode.
