Previously, we changed lock from cp_rwsem to node_change, it solved the deadlock issue which was caused by below race condition: Thread A Thread B - f2fs_setattr - f2fs_lock_op -- read_lock - dquot_transfer - __dquot_transfer - dquot_acquire - commit_dqblk - f2fs_quota_write - f2fs_write_begin - f2fs_write_failed - write_checkpoint - block_operations - f2fs_lock_all -- write_lock - f2fs_truncate_blocks - f2fs_lock_op -- read_lock But it breaks the sematics of cp_rwsem, in other callers like: - f2fs_file_write_iter -> f2fs_write_begin -> f2fs_write_failed - f2fs_direct_IO -> f2fs_write_failed We allow to truncate dnode w/o cp_rwsem held, result in incorrect sit bitmap update, which can cause further data corruption. So this patch reverts previous fix implementation, and try to fix deadlock by skipping calling f2fs_truncate_blocks() in f2fs_write_failed() only for quota file, and keep the preallocated data/node in the tail of quota file, we can expecte that the preallocated space can be used to store quota info latter soon.

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.
