writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock error
Commit b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode->i_io_list with inode->i_lock") made inode->i_io_list not only protected by wb->list_lock but also inode->i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked() was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing things protected by inode->i_lock. This also fixes a race where __mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes. Fixes: b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode->i_io_list with inode->i_lock") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220524150540.12552-1-sunjunchao2870@gmail.com CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jchao Sun <sunjunchao2870@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
