commit846a3351ddupstream. We have run into an issue that a task gets stuck in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() when perform I/O stress testing. The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background writeback cannot writeback the inode. After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead to the issue: task1 task2 ----- ----- fuse_flush write_inode_now //in b_dirty_time writeback_single_inode __writeback_single_inode fuse_write_end filemap_dirty_folio __xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY lock inode->i_lock if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES unlock inode->i_lock __mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES lock inode->i_lock -was dirty,inode stays in -b_dirty_time unlock inode->i_lock if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All)) -not true,so nothing done This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of writeback_single_inode.

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.
