In commit 8648de2c58 ("f2fs: add bio cache for IPU"), we added
f2fs_submit_ipu_bio() in __write_data_page() as below:
__write_data_page()
if (!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode) && !IS_NOQUOTA(inode)) {
f2fs_submit_ipu_bio(sbi, bio, page);
....
}
in order to avoid below deadlock:
Thread A Thread B
- __write_data_page (inode x, page y)
- f2fs_do_write_data_page
- set_page_writeback ---- set writeback flag in page y
- f2fs_inplace_write_data
- f2fs_balance_fs
- lock gc_mutex
- lock gc_mutex
- f2fs_gc
- do_garbage_collect
- gc_data_segment
- move_data_page
- f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback
- wait_on_page_writeback --- wait writeback of page y
However, the bio submission breaks the merge of IPU IOs.
So in this patch let's add a global bio cache for merged IPU pages,
then f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback() is able to submit bio if a
writebacked page is cached in global bio cache.

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.
