commit 6ba0e7dc64a5adcda2fbe65adc466891795d639e upstream.
Currently both journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() operate on the entire address space of each of the inodes associated with a given journal entry. The consequence of this is that if we have an inode where we are constantly appending dirty pages we can end up waiting for an indefinite amount of time in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() while we wait for all the pages under writeback to be written out.
The easiest way to cause this type of workload is do just dd from /dev/zero to a file until it fills the entire filesystem. This can cause journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() to wait for the duration of the entire dd operation.
We can improve this situation by scoping each of the inode dirty ranges associated with a given transaction. We do this via the jbd2_inode structure so that the scoping is contained within jbd2 and so that it follows the lifetime and locking rules for that structure.
This allows us to limit the writeback & wait in journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() respectively to the dirty range for a given struct jdb2_inode, keeping us from waiting forever if the inode in question is still being appended to.
