jbd2: fix deadlock while checkpoint thread waits commit thread to finish
This issue was found when I tried to put checkpoint work in a separate thread, the deadlock below happened: Thread1 | Thread2 __jbd2_log_wait_for_space | jbd2_log_do_checkpoint (hold j_checkpoint_mutex)| if (jh->b_transaction != NULL) | ... | jbd2_log_start_commit(journal, tid); |jbd2_update_log_tail | will lock j_checkpoint_mutex, | but will be blocked here. | jbd2_log_wait_commit(journal, tid); | wait_event(journal->j_wait_done_commit, | !tid_gt(tid, journal->j_commit_sequence)); | ... |wake_up(j_wait_done_commit) } | then deadlock occurs, Thread1 will never be waken up. To fix this issue, drop j_checkpoint_mutex in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() when we are going to wait for transaction commit.
