fs-writeback: writeback_sb_inodes:Recalculate 'wrote' according skipped pages
Commit 505a666ee3fc ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during wb_writeback, which may cause a potential ABBA dead lock: wb_writeback fat_file_fsync blk_start_plug(&plug) for (;;) { iter i-1: some reqs have been added into plug->mq_list // LOCK A iter i: progress = __writeback_inodes_wb(wb, work) . writeback_sb_inodes // fat's bdev . __writeback_single_inode . . generic_writepages . . __block_write_full_page . . . . __generic_file_fsync . . . . sync_inode_metadata . . . . writeback_single_inode . . . . __writeback_single_inode . . . . fat_write_inode . . . . __fat_write_inode . . . . sync_dirty_buffer // fat's bdev . . . . lock_buffer(bh) // LOCK B . . . . submit_bh . . . . blk_mq_get_tag // LOCK A . . . trylock_buffer(bh) // LOCK B . . . redirty_page_for_writepage . . . wbc->pages_skipped++ . . --wbc->nr_to_write . wrote += write_chunk - wbc.nr_to_write // wrote > 0 . requeue_inode . redirty_tail_locked if (progress) // progress > 0 continue; iter i+1: queue_io // similar process with iter i, infinite for-loop ! } blk_finish_plug(&plug) // flush plug won't be called Above process triggers a hungtask like: [ 399.044861] INFO: task bb:2607 blocked for more than 30 seconds.

Fix it by correcting wrote number according number of skipped pages in writeback_sb_inodes(). Goto Link to find a reproducer.
