[Devel] [PATCH 10/13] fs: avoid writeback busy-loop if redirty

[Alexander Mikhalitsyn]

From: Maxim Patlasov <mpatlasov at virtuozzo.com>

wb_writeback() bails out only if either nr_pages comes to zero or
"progress" (as reported by writeback_sb_inodes or __writeback_inodes_wb)
is zero.

If a page is temporarily unavailable (is under fuse-writeback),
fuse_writepages_fill calls redirty_page_for_writepage, unlock the page
and returns OK. This OK results in progress=1. So wb_writeback
loops over writeback_sb_inodes/__writeback_inodes_wb again and again
until all nr_pages are exhausted.

The patch ensures that progress=0 if fuse_writepages_fill did nothing.

Might be in charge of https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-55919

If we face this warn_on, we enable "kernel.panic_on_warn" on
nodes which trigger it.
