There could be a scenario where f2fs_sync_meta_pages() will not
ensure that all F2FS_DIRTY_META pages are submitted for IO. Thus,
resulting in the below panic in do_checkpoint() -
f2fs_bug_on(sbi, get_pages(sbi, F2FS_DIRTY_META) &&
!f2fs_cp_error(sbi));
This can happen in a low-memory condition, where shrinker could
also be doing the writepage operation (stack shown below)
at the same time when checkpoint is running on another core.
schedule
down_write
f2fs_submit_page_write -> by this time, this page in page cache is tagged
as PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
is cleared, due to which f2fs_sync_meta_pages()
cannot sync this page in do_checkpoint() path.
