writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock error
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit b35250c ("writeback: Protect inode->i_io_list with
inode->i_lock") made inode->i_io_list not only protected by
wb->list_lock but also inode->i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked()
was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing
things protected by inode->i_lock. This also fixes a race where
__mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands
and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.

Fixes: b35250c ("writeback: Protect inode->i_io_list with inode->i_lock")
