Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/rw: fix missing NOWAIT check for O_DIRECT start
 write

When io_uring starts a write, it'll call kiocb_start_write() to bump the
super block rwsem, preventing any freezes from happening while that
write is in-flight. The freeze side will grab that rwsem for writing,
excluding any new writers from happening and waiting for existing writes
to finish. But io_uring unconditionally uses kiocb_start_write(), which
will block if someone is currently attempting to freeze the mount point.
This causes a deadlock where freeze is waiting for previous writes to
complete, but the previous writes cannot complete, as the task that is
supposed to complete them is blocked waiting on starting a new write.
This results in the following stuck trace showing that dependency with
the write blocked starting a new write:

with the attempting freezer stuck trying to grab the rwsem:

 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x118/0x128
 el0t_64_sync+0x168/0x170

Fix this by having the io_uring side honor IOCB_NOWAIT, and only attempt a
blocking grab of the super block rwsem if it isn't set. For normal issue
where IOCB_NOWAIT would always be set, this returns -EAGAIN which will
have io_uring core issue a blocking attempt of the write. That will in
turn also get completions run, ensuring forward progress.

Since freezing requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the first place, this isn't
something that can be triggered by a regular user.

Here's a tested series for 5.15-stable. I'll send the 5.10-stable
series after this.

This helper does not take a kiocb as input and we want to create a
common helper by that name that takes a kiocb as input.

Commit ed0360bbab72b829437b67ebb2f9cfac19f59dfe upstream.

aio, io_uring, cachefiles and overlayfs, all open code an ugly variant
of file_{start,end}_write() to silence lockdep warnings.

Create helpers for this lockdep dance so we can use the helpers in all
the callers.
