2. waiting for sb_start_intwrite -> __sb_start_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS);

It's still not clear that why __sb_start_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS) will be blocked,
as SB_FREEZE_FS and SB_FREEZE_WRITE points to different locks.

It seems I missed another call, thaw_super(), got SB_FREEZE_FS and then being
stuck to grab SB_FREEZE_WRITE.

Ah, sorry. freeze_super().

Messed up. So, the lock order is SB_FREEZE_WRITE -> SB_FREEZE_FS in both cases.

Yeah, I noticed this, w/ such lock order, Thread C (freeze_super) will be blocked
on SB_FREEZE_WRITE, and then Thread B won't be block on SB_FREEZE_FS, right?

Thanks,





Thread A Thread B Thread C
- rename
- sb_start_write
- __sb_start_write(SB_FREEZE_WRITE)
...
- f2fs_lookup
...
- __wait_on_freeing_inode
- drop_slab
- prune_icache_sb
- inode_lru_isolate
:inode->i_state |= I_FREEING
- Is there any flow that it has already held
SB_FREEZE_FS and try to lock SB_FREEZE_WRITE?
- f2fs_evict_inode
- __sb_start_write(SB_FREEZE_FS)

Thanks,
