Jan Kara f446daaea9 mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
We try to avoid livelocks of writeback when some steadily creates dirty
pages in a mapping we are writing out.  For memory-cleaning writeback,
using nr_to_write works reasonably well but we cannot really use it for
data integrity writeback.  This patch tries to solve the problem.

The idea is simple: Tag all pages that should be written back with a
special tag (TOWRITE) in the radix tree.  This can be done rather quickly
and thus livelocks should not happen in practice.  Then we start doing the
hard work of locking pages and sending them to disk only for those pages
that have TOWRITE tag set.

Note: Adding new radix tree tag grows radix tree node from 288 to 296
bytes for 32-bit archs and from 552 to 560 bytes for 64-bit archs.
However, the number of slab/slub items per page remains the same (13 and 7
respectively).

/**
* Radix-tree synchronization
*
* The radix-tree API requires that users provide all synchronisation (with
* specific exceptions, noted below).
*
* Synchronization of access to the data items being stored in the tree, and
* management of their lifetimes must be completely managed by API users.
*
* For API usage, in general,
* - any function _modifying_ the tree or tags (inserting or deleting
* items, setting or clearing tags) must exclude other modifications, and
* exclude any functions reading the tree.
* - any function _reading_ the tree or tags (looking up items or tags,
* gang lookups) must exclude modifications to the tree, but may occur
* concurrently with other readers.
*
* The notable exceptions to this rule are the following functions:
* radix_tree_lookup
* radix_tree_lookup_slot
* radix_tree_tag_get
* radix_tree_gang_lookup
* radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot
* radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag
* radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot
* radix_tree_tagged
*
* The first 7 functions are able to be called locklessly, using RCU. The
* caller must ensure calls to these functions are made within rcu_read_lock()
* regions. Other readers (lock-free or otherwise) and modifications may be
* running concurrently.
*
* It is still required that the caller manage the synchronization and lifetimes
* of the items. So if RCU lock-free lookups are used, typically this would mean
* that the items have their own locks, or are amenable to lock-free access; and
* that the items are freed by RCU (or only freed after having been deleted from
* the radix tree *and* a synchronize_rcu() grace period).
*
* (Note, rcu_assign_pointer and rcu_dereference are not needed to control
* access to data items when inserting into or looking up from the radix tree)
*
* Note that the value returned by radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
* if only the RCU read lock is held. Functions to set/clear tags and to
* delete nodes running concurrently with it may affect its result such that
* two consecutive reads in the same locked section may return different
* values. If reliability is required, modification functions must also be
* excluded from concurrency.
*
* radix_tree_tagged is able to be called without locking or RCU.
