[ Upstream commit 46e75c56dfeafb6756773b71cabe187a6886859a ]
The following code paths may result in high latency or even task hangs: 1. fastcommit io is throttled by wbt. 2. jbd2_fc_wait_bufs() might wait for a long time while JBD2_FAST_COMMIT_ONGOING is set in journal->flags, and then jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() waits for the JBD2_FAST_COMMIT_ONGOING bit for a long time while holding the write lock of j_state_lock. 3. start_this_handle() waits for read lock of j_state_lock which results in high latency or task hang.
Given the fact that ext4_fc_commit() already modifies the current process' IO priority to match that of the jbd2 thread, it should be reasonable to match jbd2's IO submission flags as well.
