If the fscache asynchronous write operation elects to discard a page that's pending storage to the cache because the page would be over the store limit then it needs to wake the page as someone may be waiting on completion of the write. The problem is that the store limit may be updated by a different asynchronous operation - and so may miss the write - and that the store limit may not even get updated until later by the netfs. Fix the kernel hang by making fscache_write_op() mark as written any pages that are over the limit. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
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.
