Andreas Gruenbacher d0a22a4b03 gfs2: Fix iomap write page reclaim deadlock 
Since commit 64bc06bb32 ("gfs2: iomap buffered write support"), gfs2 is doing
buffered writes by starting a transaction in iomap_begin, writing a range of
pages, and ending that transaction in iomap_end.  This approach suffers from
two problems:

  (1) Any allocations necessary for the write are done in iomap_begin, so when
  the data aren't journaled, there is no need for keeping the transaction open
  until iomap_end.

  (2) Transactions keep the gfs2 log flush lock held.  When
  iomap_file_buffered_write calls balance_dirty_pages, this can end up calling
  gfs2_write_inode, which will try to flush the log.  This requires taking the
  log flush lock which is already held, resulting in a deadlock.

Fix both of these issues by not keeping transactions open from iomap_begin to
iomap_end.  Instead, start a small transaction in page_prepare and end it in
page_done when necessary.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
