Subject: [PATCH] bcachefs: Fix deadlocks between fallocate and readahead
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


There are ABBA deadlocks between fallocate and readahead operations
at two locations in __bchfs_fallocate():

Thread 1 (fallocate):
  bch2_fallocate_dispatch
    inode_lock(&inode->v)
    bch2_pagecache_block_get(inode)  // Acquires two_state_lock
      __bchfs_fallocate
        bch2_clamp_data_hole (or bch2_mark_pagecache_reserved)
          bch2_seek_pagecache_hole
            __filemap_get_folio
              folio_lock()  // BLOCKS - Thread 2 holds it

Thread 2 (readahead via copy_file_range):
  bch2_readahead
    folio_lock()  // Holds page lock
    __bch2_two_state_lock(&pagecache_lock)  // BLOCKS - Thread 1 holds it

The issue is that drop_locks_do() only releases btree transaction locks,
but Thread 2 is blocked waiting for the two_state_lock (pagecache_block)
held by bch2_pagecache_block_get().

Fix by explicitly releasing and re-acquiring the pagecache_block lock
around both blocking operations (bch2_clamp_data_hole and
bch2_mark_pagecache_reserved), following the same pattern used in
bch2_page_fault(). Force a transaction restart after lock release to
ensure consistency.
