In do_writepages, if the value returned by ext4_writepages is "-ENOMEM"
and "wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_ALL", retry until the condition is not met.
In __ext4_get_inode_loc, if the bh returned by sb_getblk is NULL,
the function returns -ENOMEM.
In __getblk_slow, if the return value of grow_buffers is less than 0,
the function returns NULL.
When the three processes are connected in series like the following stack,
an infinite loop may occur:
do_writepages <--- keep retrying
ext4_writepages
mpage_map_and_submit_extent
mpage_map_one_extent
ext4_map_blocks
ext4_ext_map_blocks
ext4_ext_handle_unwritten_extents
ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized
ext4_split_extent
ext4_split_extent_at
__ext4_ext_dirty
__ext4_mark_inode_dirty
ext4_reserve_inode_write
ext4_get_inode_loc
__ext4_get_inode_loc <--- return -ENOMEM
sb_getblk
__getblk_gfp
__getblk_slow <--- return NULL
grow_buffers
grow_dev_page <--- return -ENXIO
ret = (block < end_block) ? 1 : -ENXIO;
In this issue, bg_inode_table_hi is overwritten as an incorrect value.
As a result, `block < end_block` cannot be met in grow_dev_page.
Therefore, __ext4_get_inode_loc always returns '-ENOMEM' and do_writepages
keeps retrying. As a result, the writeback process is in the D state due
to an infinite loop.
Add a check on inode table block in the __ext4_get_inode_loc function by
referring to ext4_read_inode_bitmap to avoid this infinite loop.
