Ye Bin 3ac74ed58f jbd2: fix soft lockup in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() 
[ Upstream commit 6c02757c93 ]

There's issue when do io test:
WARN: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 11s! [jbd2/dm-2-8:4170]
CPU: 45 PID: 4170 Comm: jbd2/dm-2-8 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G  OE

Analyzed informations from vmcore as follows:
(1) There are about 5k+ jbd2_inode in 'commit_transaction->t_inode_list';
(2) Now is processing the 855th jbd2_inode;
(3) JBD2 task has TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag;
(4) There's no pags in address_space around the 855th jbd2_inode;
(5) There are some process is doing drop caches;
(6) Mounted with 'nodioread_nolock' option;
(7) 128 CPUs;

According to informations from vmcore we know 'journal->j_list_lock' spin lock
competition is fierce. So journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() maybe process
slowly. Theoretically, there is scheduling point in the filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors().
However, if inode's address_space has no pages which taged with PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK,
will not call cond_resched(). So may lead to soft lockup.
journal_finish_inode_data_buffers
  filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors
    __filemap_fdatawait_range
      while (index <= end)
        nr_pages = pagevec_lookup_range_tag(&pvec, mapping, &index, end, PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK);
        if (!nr_pages)
           break;    --> If 'nr_pages' is equal zero will break, then will not call cond_resched()
        for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
          wait_on_page_writeback(page);
        cond_resched();

To solve above issue, add scheduling point in the journal_finish_inode_data_buffers();

README 

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.
