commit 76f9377cd2ab7a9220c25d33940d9ca20d368172 upstream.
Add a SB_I_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY superblock flag for filesystems that cannot
guarantee data persistence on sync (eg fuse). For superblocks with this
flag set, sync kicks off writeback of dirty inodes but does not wait
for the flusher threads to complete the writeback.
This replaces the per-inode AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mapping flag added in
commit f9a49aa302a0 ("fs/writeback: skip AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mappings
in wait_sb_inodes()"). The flag belongs at the superblock level because
data integrity is a filesystem-wide property, not a per-inode one.
Having this flag at the superblock level also allows us to skip having
to iterate every dirty inode in wait_sb_inodes() only to skip each inode
individually.
Prior to this commit, mappings with no data integrity guarantees skipped
waiting on writeback completion but still waited on the flusher threads
to finish initiating the writeback. Waiting on the flusher threads is
unnecessary. This commit kicks off writeback but does not wait on the
flusher threads. This change properly addresses a recent report [1] for
a suspend-to-RAM hang seen on fuse-overlayfs that was caused by waiting
on the flusher threads to finish:
Workqueue: pm_fs_sync pm_fs_sync_work_fn

On fuse this is problematic because there are paths that may cause the
flusher thread to block (eg if systemd freezes the user session cgroups
first, which freezes the fuse daemon, before invoking the kernel
suspend. The kernel suspend triggers ->write_node() which on fuse issues
a synchronous setattr request, which cannot be processed since the
daemon is frozen. Or if the daemon is buggy and cannot properly complete
writeback, initiating writeback on a dirty folio already under writeback
leads to writeback_get_folio() -> folio_prepare_writeback() ->
unconditional wait on writeback to finish, which will cause a hang).
This commit restores fuse to its prior behavior before tmp folios were
removed, where sync was essentially a no-op.

[ Upstream commit 9eed043d10f17301c1b5141e16bb98a85a8fd07e ]
Recent changes of fs-writeback cause such warnings if DETECT_HUNG_TASK
is not enabled:
INFO: The task sync:1342 has been waiting for writeback completion for more than 1 seconds.
The reason is sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is 0 when DETECT_HUNG_TASK
is not enabled, then it causes the warning message even if the writeback
lasts for only one second.
Guard the wakeup and logging with "#ifdef CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK" can
eliminate the warning messages. But on the other hand, it is possible
that sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs be also 0 when DETECT_HUNG_TASK is
enabled. So let's just check the value of sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
to decide whether do wakeup and logging.
Fixes: 1888635532fb ("writeback: Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk.")
Fixes: d6e621590764 ("writeback: Add logging for slow writeback (exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs)")

Above the while() loop in wait_sb_inodes(), we document that we must wait
for all pages under writeback for data integrity. Consequently, if a
mapping, like fuse, traditionally does not have data integrity semantics,
there is no need to wait at all; we can simply skip these inodes.
This restores fuse back to prior behavior where syncs are no-ops. This
fixes a user regression where if a system is running a faulty fuse server
that does not reply to issued write requests, this causes wait_sb_inodes()
to wait forever.

When vm.dirtytime_expire_seconds is set to 0, wakeup_dirtytime_writeback()
schedules delayed work with a delay of 0, causing immediate execution.
The function then reschedules itself with 0 delay again, creating an
infinite busy loop that causes 100% kworker CPU usage.
Fix by:
- Only scheduling delayed work in wakeup_dirtytime_writeback() when
dirtytime_expire_interval is non-zero
- Cancelling the delayed work in dirtytime_interval_handler() when
the interval is set to 0
- Adding a guard in start_dirtytime_writeback() for defensive coding
Tested by booting kernel in QEMU with virtme-ng:
- Before fix: kworker CPU spikes to ~73%
- After fix: CPU remains at normal levels
- Setting interval back to non-zero correctly resumes writeback

"Features:

The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that

Writing back a large number of pages can take a lots of time.
This issue is exacerbated when the underlying device is slow or
subject to block layer rate limiting, which in turn triggers
unexpected hung task warnings.
We can trigger a wake-up once a chunk has been written back and the
waiting time for writeback exceeds half of
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs.
This action allows the hung task detector to be aware of the writeback
progress, thereby eliminating these unexpected hung task warnings.
This patch has passed the xfstests 'check -g quick' test based on ext4,
with no additional failures introduced.

Pull vfs writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains work adressing lockups reported by users when a systemd
unit reading lots of files from a filesystem mounted with the lazytime
mount option exits.
With the lazytime mount option enabled we can be switching many dirty
inodes on cgroup exit to the parent cgroup. The numbers observed in
practice when systemd slice of a large cron job exits can easily reach
hundreds of thousands or millions.
The logic in inode_do_switch_wbs() which sorts the inode into
appropriate place in b_dirty list of the target wb however has linear
complexity in the number of dirty inodes thus overall time complexity
of switching all the inodes is quadratic leading to workers being
pegged for hours consuming 100% of the CPU and switching inodes to the
parent wb.
Simple reproducer of the issue:
FILES=10000
# Filesystem mounted with lazytime mount option
MNT=/mnt/
echo "Creating files and switching timestamps"
for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do
mkdir $MNT/dir$j
for (( i = 0; i < $FILES; i++ )); do
echo "foo" >$MNT/dir$j/file$i
done
touch -a -t 202501010000 $MNT/dir$j/file*
done
wait
echo "Syncing and flushing"
sync
echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo "Reading all files from a cgroup"
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1 || exit
echo $$ >/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1/cgroup.procs || exit
for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do
cat /mnt/dir$j/file* >/dev/null &
done
wait
echo "Switching wbs"
# Now rmdir the cgroup after the script exits
This can be solved by:
- Avoiding contention on the wb->list_lock when switching inodes by
running a single work item per wb and managing a queue of items
switching to the wb
- Allowing rescheduling when switching inodes over to a different
cgroup to avoid softlockups
- Maintaining the b_dirty list ordering instead of sorting it"

Pull vfs workqueue updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains various workqueue changes affecting the filesystem
layer.
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work()
the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies
to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that
makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This replaces the use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq. system_wq is
a per-CPU workqueue which isn't very obvious from the name and
system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required.
So this renames system_wq to system_percpu_wq, and system_unbound_wq
to system_dfl_wq.
This also adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to allow the fs subsystem users to
explicitly request the use of per-CPU behavior. Both WQ_UNBOUND and
WQ_PERCPU flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to
transition their calls. WQ_UNBOUND will be removed in a next release

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
inode.
So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
user of struct inode.
The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.
I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
become over the years.
On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:
- Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers
- Make the i_state flags an enum
- Rework the iput() logic
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
time update for as long as possible
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
reference
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
atomic_add_unless above
- Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper
- Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
in debugging
- Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated
helpers"

implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:
- Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
- Make file_remove_privs_flags() static
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used
- Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()
- Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()
- Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()
- Remove vfs_ioctl() export
- Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
priority inversion on preempt rt kernels
- Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const
- Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do
in may_open()
- Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code
- Use str_plural() in rd_load_image()
- Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link()
- Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()
- Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()
Fixes:
- Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper
- Fix spelling mistake
- Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV
If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse
through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints
- Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390
- Make INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD
- Use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions
- Don't call path_put() under namespace semaphore in listmount() and
statmount()"

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to all the fs subsystem users to
explicitly request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist
for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
All existing users have been updated accordingly.

system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users.
Make it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq to all the fs subsystem.
The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

With lazytime mount option enabled we can be switching many dirty inodes
on cgroup exit to the parent cgroup. The numbers observed in practice
when systemd slice of a large cron job exits can easily reach hundreds
of thousands or millions. The logic in inode_do_switch_wbs() which sorts
the inode into appropriate place in b_dirty list of the target wb
however has linear complexity in the number of dirty inodes thus overall
time complexity of switching all the inodes is quadratic leading to
workers being pegged for hours consuming 100% of the CPU and switching
inodes to the parent wb.
Simple reproducer of the issue:
FILES=10000
# Filesystem mounted with lazytime mount option
MNT=/mnt/
echo "Creating files and switching timestamps"
for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do
mkdir $MNT/dir$j
for (( i = 0; i < $FILES; i++ )); do
echo "foo" >$MNT/dir$j/file$i
done
touch -a -t 202501010000 $MNT/dir$j/file*
done
wait
echo "Syncing and flushing"
sync
echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo "Reading all files from a cgroup"
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1 || exit
echo $$ >/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1/cgroup.procs || exit
for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do
cat /mnt/dir$j/file* >/dev/null &
done
wait
echo "Switching wbs"
# Now rmdir the cgroup after the script exits
We need to maintain b_dirty list ordering to keep writeback happy so
instead of sorting inode into appropriate place just append it at the
end of the list and clobber dirtied_time_when. This may result in inode
writeback starting later after cgroup switch however cgroup switches are
rare so it shouldn't matter much. Since the cgroup had write access to
the inode, there are no practical concerns of the possible DoS issues.

process_inode_switch_wbs_work() can be switching over 100 inodes to a
different cgroup. Since switching an inode requires counting all dirty &
under-writeback pages in the address space of each inode, this can take
a significant amount of time. Add a possibility to reschedule after
processing each inode to avoid softlockups.

There can be multiple inode switch works that are trying to switch
inodes to / from the same wb. This can happen in particular if some
cgroup exits which owns many (thousands) inodes and we need to switch
them all. In this case several inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instances will
be just spinning on the same wb->list_lock while only one of them makes
forward progress. This wastes CPU cycles and quickly leads to softlockup
reports and unusable system.
Instead of running several inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instances in
parallel switching to the same wb and contending on wb->list_lock, run
just one work item per wb and manage a queue of isw items switching to
this wb.

Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio
to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is
converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio().
Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page,
and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs.
Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the
only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is
already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might
also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in
the future.
No functional changes. Only compile tested.

When deactivating any type of superblock, it had to wait for the in-flight
wb switches to be completed. wb switches are executed in inode_switch_wbs_work_fn()
which needs to acquire the wb_switch_rwsem and races against sync_inodes_sb().
If there are too much dirty data in the superblock, the waiting time may increase
significantly.
For superblocks without cgroup writeback such as tmpfs, they have nothing to
do with the wb swithes, so the flushing can be avoided.

In kupdate writeback, only expired inode (have been dirty for longer than
dirty_expire_interval) is supposed to be written back. However, kupdate
writeback will writeback non-expired inode left in b_io or b_more_io from
last wb_writeback. As a result, writeback will keep being triggered
unexpected when we keep dirtying pages even dirty memory is under
threshold and inode is not expired. To be more specific:
Assume dirty background threshold is > 1G and dirty_expire_centisecs is
> 60s. When we running fio -size=1G -invalidate=0 -ioengine=libaio
--time_based -runtime=60... (keep dirtying), the writeback will keep
being triggered as following:
wb_workfn
wb_do_writeback
wb_check_background_flush
/*
* Wb dirty background threshold starts at 0 if device was idle and
* grows up when bandwidth of wb is updated. So a background
* writeback is triggered.
*/
wb_over_bg_thresh
/*
* Dirtied inode will be written back and added to b_more_io list
* after slice used up (because we keep dirtying the inode).
*/
wb_writeback
Writeback is triggered per dirty_writeback_centisecs as following:
wb_workfn
wb_do_writeback
wb_check_old_data_flush
/*
* Write back inode left in b_io and b_more_io from last wb_writeback
* even the inode is non-expired and it will be added to b_more_io
* again as slice will be used up (because we keep dirtying the
* inode)
*/
wb_writeback
Fix this by moving non-expired inode to dirty list instead of more io
list for kupdate writeback in requeue_inode.
Test as following:
/* make it more easier to observe the issue */
echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/* create a idle device */
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/
/* run buffer write with fio */
fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=800M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=60 -invalidate=0
Fio result before fix (run three tests):
1360MB/s
1329MB/s
1455MB/s
Fio result after fix (run three tests):
1737MB/s
1729MB/s
1789MB/s
Writeback for non-expired inode is gone as expeted. Observe this with trace

Move the resource pinning-for-writeback from fscache code to netfslib code.
This is used to keep a cache backing object pinned whilst we have dirty
pages on the netfs inode in the pagecache such that VM writeback will be
able to reach it.
Whilst we're at it, switch the parameters of netfs_unpin_writeback() to
match ->write_inode() so that it can be used for that directly.
Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for
network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources
(e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is
complete.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com
Cleanups:
- Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.
- Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"

The cgwb cleanup routine will try to release the dying cgwb by switching
the attached inodes. It fetches the attached inodes from wb->b_attached
list, omitting the fact that inodes only with dirty timestamps reside in
wb->b_dirty_time list, which is the case when lazytime is enabled. This
causes enormous zombie memory cgroup when lazytime is enabled, as inodes
with dirty timestamps can not be switched to a live cgwb for a long time.
It is reasonable not to switch cgwb for inodes with dirty data, as
otherwise it may break the bandwidth restrictions. However since the
writeback of inode metadata is not accounted for, let's also switch
inodes with dirty timestamps to avoid zombie memory and block cgroups
when laztytime is enabled.

When writing back an inode and performing an fsync on it concurrently, a
deadlock issue may arise as shown below. In each writeback iteration, a
clean inode is requeued to the wb->b_dirty queue due to non-zero
pages_skipped, without anything actually being written. This causes an
infinite loop and prevents the plug from being flushed, resulting in a
deadlock. We now avoid requeuing the clean inode to prevent this issue.
