[ Upstream commit be1ee45d51384161681ecf21085a42d316ae25f7 ]

In the cache writing process, if it is an atomic file, increase the page
count of F2FS_WB_CP_DATA, otherwise increase the page count of
F2FS_WB_DATA.

When you step into the hook branch due to insufficient memory in
f2fs_write_begin, f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all will be called to traverse
all atomic inodes and clear the FI_ATOMIC_FILE mark of all atomic files.

In f2fs_drop_inmem_pages,first acquire the inmem_lock , revoke all the
inmem_pages, and then clear the FI_ATOMIC_FILE mark. Before this mark is
cleared, other threads may hold inmem_lock to add inmem_pages to the inode
that has just been emptied inmem_pages, and increase the page count of
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA.

When the IO returns, it is found that the FI_ATOMIC_FILE flag is cleared
by f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all, and f2fs_is_atomic_file returns false,which
causes the page count of F2FS_WB_DATA to be decremented. The page count of
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA cannot be cleared. Finally, hungtask is triggered in
f2fs_wait_on_all_pages because get_pages will never return zero.

process A: process B:
f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all
->f2fs_drop_inmem_pages of inode#1
->mutex_lock(&fi->inmem_lock)
->__revoke_inmem_pages of inode#1 f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
->mutex_unlock(&fi->inmem_lock) ->f2fs_commit_inmem_pages of inode#1
->mutex_lock(&fi->inmem_lock)
->__f2fs_commit_inmem_pages
->f2fs_do_write_data_page
->f2fs_outplace_write_data
->do_write_page
->f2fs_submit_page_write
->inc_page_count(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA )
->mutex_unlock(&fi->inmem_lock)
->spin_lock(&sbi->inode_lock[ATOMIC_FILE]);
->clear_inode_flag(inode, FI_ATOMIC_FILE)
->spin_unlock(&sbi->inode_lock[ATOMIC_FILE])
f2fs_write_end_io
->dec_page_count(sbi, F2FS_WB_DATA );

We can fix the problem by putting the action of clearing the FI_ATOMIC_FILE
mark into the inmem_lock lock. This operation can ensure that no one will
submit the inmem pages before the FI_ATOMIC_FILE mark is cleared, so that
there will be no atomic writes waiting for writeback.
