[PATCH 5.15 30/33] btrfs: fix deadlock due to page faults during direct IO reads and writes

commit 51bd9563b6783de8315f38f7baed949e77c42311 upstream

If we do a direct IO read or write when the buffer given by the user is
memory mapped to the file range we are going to do IO, we end up ending
in a deadlock. This is triggered by the new test case generic/647 from
fstests.

For a direct IO read we get a trace like this:

This happens because at btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() we lock the extent range
and return with it locked - we only unlock in the endio callback, at
end_bio_extent_readpage() -> endio_readpage_release_extent(). Then after
iomap called the btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() callback, it triggers the page
faults that resulting in reading the pages, through the readahead callback
btrfs_readahead(), and through there we end to attempt to lock again the
same extent range (or a subrange of what we locked before), resulting in
the deadlock.

For a direct IO write, the scenario is a bit different, and it results in
trace like this:

Unlike for reads, at btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() we return with the extent
range unlocked, but later when the page faults are triggered and we try
to read the extents, we end up btrfs_lock_and_flush_ordered_range() where
we find the ordered extent for our write, created by the iomap callback
btrfs_dio_iomap_begin(), and we wait for it to complete, which makes us
deadlock since we can't complete the ordered extent without reading the
pages (the iomap code only submits the bio after the pages are faulted
in).

Fix this by setting the nofault attribute of the given iov_iter and retry
the direct IO read/write if we get an -EFAULT error returned from iomap.
For reads, also disable page faults completely, this is because when we
read from a hole or a prealloc extent, we can still trigger page faults
due to the call to iov_iter_zero() done by iomap - at the moment, it is
oblivious to the value of the ->nofault attribute of an iov_iter.
We also need to keep track of the number of bytes written or read, and
pass it to iomap_dio_rw(), as well as use the new flag IOMAP_DIO_PARTIAL.

This depends on the iov_iter and iomap changes introduced in commit
c03098d4b9ad ("Merge tag 'gfs2-v5.15-rc5-mmap-fault' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2").
