I guess below two commits may fix potential deadlock issue:

1) Revert: "f2fs: check last page index in cached bio to decide submission"
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bab475c5414e8d1fa182fd17ae966864e9c85741

2) f2fs: submit cached bio to avoid endless PageWriteback
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=48018b4cfd07dd2df9a067fb3a6a3221c19eed11

I think you can just merge them to stable kernel with the specified version as
you wish, and then have a try.

It has been merged into Linux 4.20-rc1, maybe that can be your option if you
don't want to wait 4.20 about 2 months bug fixing iteration.
