btrfs: get rid of warning on transaction commit when using flushoncommit

[ Upstream commit a0f0cf8341 ]

When using the flushoncommit mount option, during almost every transaction
commit we trigger a warning from __writeback_inodes_sb_nr():

  $ cat fs/fs-writeback.c:
  (...)
  static void __writeback_inodes_sb_nr(struct super_block *sb, ...
  {
        (...)
        WARN_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&sb->s_umount));
        (...)
  }
  (...)

The trace produced in dmesg looks like the following:

This is because we started using writeback_inodes_sb() to flush delalloc
when committing a transaction (when using -o flushoncommit), in order to
avoid deadlocks with filesystem freeze operations. This change was made
by commit ce8ea7cc6e ("btrfs: don't call btrfs_start_delalloc_roots
in flushoncommit"). After that change we started producing that warning,
and every now and then a user reports this since the warning happens too
often, it spams dmesg/syslog, and a user is unsure if this reflects any
problem that might compromise the filesystem's reliability.

We can not just lock the sb->s_umount semaphore before calling
writeback_inodes_sb(), because that would at least deadlock with
filesystem freezing, since at fs/super.c:freeze_super() sync_filesystem()
is called while we are holding that semaphore in write mode, and that can
trigger a transaction commit, resulting in a deadlock. It would also
trigger the same type of deadlock in the unmount path. Possibly, it could
also introduce some other locking dependencies that lockdep would report.

To fix this call try_to_writeback_inodes_sb() instead of
writeback_inodes_sb(), because that will try to read lock sb->s_umount
and then will only call writeback_inodes_sb() if it was able to lock it.
This is fine because the cases where it can't read lock sb->s_umount
are during a filesystem unmount or during a filesystem freeze - in those
cases sb->s_umount is write locked and sync_filesystem() is called, which
calls writeback_inodes_sb(). In other words, in all cases where we can't
take a read lock on sb->s_umount, writeback is already being triggered
elsewhere.

An alternative would be to call btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() with a
number of pages different from LONG_MAX, for example matching the number
of delalloc bytes we currently have, in which case we would end up
starting all delalloc with filemap_fdatawrite_wbc() and not with an
async flush via filemap_flush() - that is only possible after the rather
recent commit e076ab2a2c ("btrfs: shrink delalloc pages instead of
full inodes"). However that creates a whole new can of worms due to new
lock dependencies, which lockdep complains, like for example:

It all comes from the fact that btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() takes the
delalloc_root_mutex, in the transaction commit path we are holding a
read lock on one of the superblock's freeze semaphores (via
sb_start_intwrite()), the async reclaim task can also do a call to
btrfs_start_delalloc_roots(), which ends up triggering writeback with
calls to filemap_fdatawrite_wbc(), resulting in extent allocation which
in turn can call btrfs_start_transaction(), which will result in taking
the freeze semaphore via sb_start_intwrite(), forming a nasty dependency
on all those locks which can be taken in different orders by different
code paths.

So just adopt the simple approach of calling try_to_writeback_inodes_sb()
at btrfs_start_delalloc_flush().
