Great, thanks Thorsten.

Done.

Looks like erofs has the same issue, I included a fix for that.

Andrew would you mind picking this up and sending it Linusward? Jens
routed the series originally, but I believe he is out today.

Thanks

Subject: [PATCH] fs: fix leaked psi pressure state

When psi annotations were added to to btrfs compression reads, the psi
state tracking over add_ra_bio_pages and btrfs_submit_compressed_read
was faulty. A pressure state, once entered, is never left. This
results in incorrectly elevated pressure, which triggers OOM kills.

pflags record the *previous* memstall state when we enter a new
one. The code tried to initialize pflags to 1, and then optimize the
leave call when we either didn't enter a memstall, or were already
inside a nested stall. However, there can be multiple PageWorkingset
pages in the bio, at which point it's that path itself that enters
repeatedly and overwrites pflags. This causes us to miss the exit.

Enter the stall only once if needed, then unwind correctly.

erofs has the same problem, fix that up too. And move the memstall
exit past submit_bio() to restore submit accounting originally added
by b8e24a9300b0 ("block: annotate refault stalls from IO submission").

Fixes: 4088a47e78f9 ("btrfs: add manual PSI accounting for compressed reads")
Fixes: 99486c511f68 ("erofs: add manual PSI accounting for the compressed address space")
Fixes: 118f3663fbc6 ("block: remove PSI accounting from the bio layer")
