Jinke Han 1211121f0e ext4: place buffer head allocation before handle start
commit d1052d236eddf6aa851434db1897b942e8db9921 upstream.

In our product environment, we encounter some jbd hung waiting handles to
stop while several writters were doing memory reclaim for buffer head
allocation in delay alloc write path. Ext4 do buffer head allocation with
holding transaction handle which may be blocked too long if the reclaim
works not so smooth. According to our bcc trace, the reclaim time in
buffer head allocation can reach 258s and the jbd transaction commit also
take almost the same time meanwhile. Except for these extreme cases,
we often see several seconds delays for cgroup memory reclaim on our
servers. This is more likely to happen considering docker environment.

One thing to note, the allocation of buffer heads is as often as page
allocation or more often when blocksize less than page size. Just like
page cache allocation, we should also place the buffer head allocation
before startting the handle.

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.
