commit3c4276936fupstream. We recently ran into the following deadlock involving btrfs_write_inode(): [ +0.005066] __schedule+0x38e/0x8c0 [ +0.007144] schedule+0x36/0x80 [ +0.006447] bit_wait+0x11/0x60 [ +0.006446] __wait_on_bit+0xbe/0x110 [ +0.007487] ? bit_wait_io+0x60/0x60 [ +0.007319] __inode_wait_for_writeback+0x96/0xc0 [ +0.009568] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x40/0x40 [ +0.009565] inode_wait_for_writeback+0x21/0x30 [ +0.009224] evict+0xb0/0x190 [ +0.006099] iput+0x1a8/0x210 [ +0.006103] btrfs_run_delayed_iputs+0x73/0xc0 [ +0.009047] btrfs_commit_transaction+0x799/0x8c0 [ +0.009567] btrfs_write_inode+0x81/0xb0 [ +0.008008] __writeback_single_inode+0x267/0x320 [ +0.009569] writeback_sb_inodes+0x25b/0x4e0 [ +0.008702] wb_writeback+0x102/0x2d0 [ +0.007487] wb_workfn+0xa4/0x310 [ +0.006794] ? wb_workfn+0xa4/0x310 [ +0.007143] process_one_work+0x150/0x410 [ +0.008179] worker_thread+0x6d/0x520 [ +0.007490] kthread+0x12c/0x160 [ +0.006620] ? put_pwq_unlocked+0x80/0x80 [ +0.008185] ? kthread_park+0xa0/0xa0 [ +0.007484] ? do_syscall_64+0x53/0x150 [ +0.007837] ret_from_fork+0x29/0x40 Writeback calls: btrfs_write_inode btrfs_commit_transaction btrfs_run_delayed_iputs If iput() is called on that same inode, evict() will wait for writeback forever. btrfs_write_inode() was originally added way back in4730a4bc5b("btrfs_dirty_inode") to support O_SYNC writes. However, ->write_inode() hasn't been used for O_SYNC since148f948ba8("vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode"), so btrfs_write_inode() is actually unnecessary (and leads to a bunch of unnecessary commits). Get rid of it, which also gets rid of the deadlock.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
