tail unpacking is done in a wrong place; the deadlocks galore is best dealt with by doing that in ->write_iter() (and switching to iomap, while we are at it), but that's rather painful to backport. The trouble comes from grabbing pages that cover the beginning of tail from inside of ufs_new_fragments(); ongoing pageout of any of those is going to deadlock on ->truncate_mutex with process that got around to extending the tail holding that and waiting for page to get unlocked, while ->writepage() on that page is waiting on ->truncate_mutex. The thing is, we don't need ->truncate_mutex when the fragment we are trying to map is within the tail - the damn thing is allocated (tail can't contain holes). Let's do a plain lookup and if the fragment is present, we can just pretend that we'd won the race in almost all cases. The only exception is a fragment between the end of tail and the end of block containing tail. Protect ->i_lastfrag with ->meta_lock - read_seqlock_excl() is sufficient.

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.
