commit53770f0ec5upstream. If we need to perform synchronous I/O in dm_integrity_map_continue(), we must make sure that we are not in the map function - in order to avoid the deadlock due to bio queuing in generic_make_request. To avoid the deadlock, we offload the request to metadata_wq. However, metadata_wq also processes metadata updates for write requests. If there are too many requests that get offloaded to metadata_wq at the beginning of dm_integrity_map_continue, the workqueue metadata_wq becomes clogged and the system is incapable of processing any metadata updates. This causes a deadlock because all the requests that need to do metadata updates wait for metadata_wq to proceed and metadata_wq waits inside wait_and_add_new_range until some existing request releases its range lock (which doesn't happen because the range lock is released after metadata update). In order to fix the deadlock, we create a new workqueue offload_wq and offload requests to it - so that processing of offload_wq is independent from processing of metadata_wq.

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.
