commit 10f7f6f879 upstream.
[BUG]
Test case generic/475 have a very high chance (almost 100%) to hit a fs
hang, where a data page will never be unlocked and hang all later
operations.
[CAUSE]
In btrfs_do_readpage(), if we hit an error from submit_extent_page() we
will try to do the cleanup for our current io range, and exit.
This works fine for PAGE_SIZE == sectorsize cases, but not for subpage.
For subpage btrfs_do_readpage() will lock the full page first, which can
contain several different sectors and extents:
btrfs_do_readpage()
|- begin_page_read()
| |- btrfs_subpage_start_reader();
| Now the page will have PAGE_SIZE / sectorsize reader pending,
| and the page is locked.
|
|- end_page_read() for different branches
| This function will reduce subpage readers, and when readers
| reach 0, it will unlock the page.
But when submit_extent_page() failed, we only cleanup the current
io range, while the remaining io range will never be cleaned up, and the
page remains locked forever.
[FIX]
Update the error handling of submit_extent_page() to cleanup all the
remaining subpage range before exiting the loop.
Please note that, now submit_extent_page() can only fail due to
sanity check in alloc_new_bio().
Thus regular IO errors are impossible to trigger the error path.

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.
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.
