The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background writeback cannot writeback the inode. After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead to the issue: task1 task2 ----- ----- fuse_flush write_inode_now //in b_dirty_time writeback_single_inode __writeback_single_inode fuse_write_end filemap_dirty_folio __xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY lock inode->i_lock if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES unlock inode->i_lock __mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES lock inode->i_lock -was dirty,inode stays in -b_dirty_time unlock inode->i_lock if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All)) -not true,so nothing done This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of writeback_single_inode.
