From 3eaf9cc62f447a742b26fa601993e94406aa1ea1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Bobrowski Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2019 23:02:23 +1100 Subject: ext4: update ext4_sync_file() to not use __generic_file_fsync() When the filesystem is created without a journal, we eventually call into __generic_file_fsync() in order to write out all the modified in-core data to the permanent storage device. This function happens to try and obtain an inode_lock() while synchronizing the files buffer and it's associated metadata. Generally, this is fine, however it becomes a problem when there is higher level code that has already obtained an inode_lock() as this leads to a recursive lock situation. This case is especially true when porting across direct I/O to iomap infrastructure as we obtain an inode_lock() early on in the I/O within ext4_dio_write_iter() and hold it until the I/O has been completed. Consequently, to not run into this specific issue, we move away from calling into __generic_file_fsync() and perform the necessary synchronization tasks within ext4_sync_file().
