If btrfs_bio_alloc fails in submit_extent_page, submit_extent_page returns
without clearing the writeback bit of the failed page.
__extent_writepage_io, that is a caller of submit_extent_page,
does not clear the remaining writeback bit anywhere.
As a result, this will cause the hang at filemap_fdatawait_range,
because it waits the writeback bit to be cleared from the failed page.
So, we have to call end_page_writeback to clear the writeback bit.
For reproducing the hang, we inject a fault like
if (should_failtest()) { // I define should_failtest()
bio = NULL;
}
else {
bio = btrfs_bio_alloc(...);
}
in submit_extent_page.
We should also check whether page has the bit before end_page_writeback,
to avoid the conflict against the other end_page_writeback in bio_endio.
Thus, we add PageWriteback checks not only in __extent_writepage_io,
but also in write_one_eb too, because it misses the check.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
