Chao Yu aadcef64b2 f2fs: fix to avoid deadlock in f2fs_read_inline_dir()
As Jiqun Li reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202883

sometimes, dead lock when make system call SYS_getdents64 with fsync() is
called by another process.

monkey running on android9.0

1.  task 9785 held sbi->cp_rwsem and waiting lock_page()
2.  task 10349 held mm_sem and waiting sbi->cp_rwsem
3. task 9709 held lock_page() and waiting mm_sem

so this is a dead lock scenario.

task stack is show by crash tools as following

Below potential deadlock will happen between three threads:
Thread A		Thread B		Thread C
- f2fs_do_sync_file
 - f2fs_write_checkpoint
  - down_write(&sbi->node_change) -- 1)
			- do_page_fault
			 - down_write(&mm->mmap_sem) -- 2)
			  - do_wp_page
			   - f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite
						- getdents64
						 - f2fs_read_inline_dir
						  - lock_page -- 3)
  - f2fs_sync_node_pages
   - lock_page -- 3)
			    - __do_map_lock
			     - down_read(&sbi->node_change) -- 1)
						  - f2fs_fill_dentries
						   - dir_emit
						    - compat_filldir64
						     - do_page_fault
						      - down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) -- 2)

Since f2fs_readdir is protected by inode.i_rwsem, there should not be
any updates in inode page, we're safe to lookup dents in inode page
without its lock held, so taking off the lock to improve concurrency
of readdir and avoid potential deadlock.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
