ocfs2: fix ip_unaligned_aio deadlock with dio work queue
In the current implementation of unaligned aio+dio, lock order behave as follow: in user process context: -> call io_submit() -> get i_mutex <== window1 -> get ip_unaligned_aio -> submit direct io to block device -> release i_mutex -> io_submit() return in dio work queue context(the work queue is created in __blockdev_direct_IO): -> release ip_unaligned_aio <== window2 -> get i_mutex -> clear unwritten flag & change i_size -> release i_mutex There is a limitation to the thread number of dio work queue. 256 at default. If all 256 thread are in the above 'window2' stage, and there is a user process in the 'window1' stage, the system will became deadlock. Since the user process hold i_mutex to wait ip_unaligned_aio lock, while there is a direct bio hold ip_unaligned_aio mutex who is waiting for a dio work queue thread to be schedule. But all the dio work queue thread is waiting for i_mutex lock in 'window2'. This case only happened in a test which send a large number(more than 256) of aio at one io_submit() call. My design is to remove ip_unaligned_aio lock. Change it to a sync io instead. Just like ip_unaligned_aio lock, serialize the unaligned aio dio.
