+Subject: Btrfs: fix unwritten extent buffers and hangs on future writeback
+ attempts
+
+The lock_extent_buffer_io() returns 1 to the caller to tell it everything
+went fine and the callers needs to start writeback for the extent buffer
+(submit a bio, etc), 0 to tell the caller everything went fine but it does
+not need to start writeback for the extent buffer, and a negative value if
+some error happened.
+
+When it's about to return 1 it tries to lock all pages, and if a try lock
+on a page fails, and we didn't flush any existing bio in our "epd", it
+calls flush_write_bio(epd) and overwrites the return value of 1 to 0 or
+an error. The page might have been locked elsewhere, not with the goal
+of starting writeback of the extent buffer, and even by some code other
+than btrfs, like page migration for example, so it does not mean the
+writeback of the extent buffer was already started by some other task,
+so returning a 0 tells the caller (btree_write_cache_pages()) to not
+start writeback for the extent buffer. Note that epd might currently have
+either no bio, so flush_write_bio() returns 0 (success) or it might have
+a bio for another extent buffer with a lower index (logical address).
+
+Since we return 0 with the EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITEBACK bit set on the
+extent buffer and writeback is never started for the extent buffer,
+future attempts to writeback the extent buffer will hang forever waiting
+on that bit to be cleared, since it can only be cleared after writeback
+completes. Such hang is reported with a trace like the following:
+
+ [49887.347053] INFO: task btrfs-transacti:1752 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
+ [49887.347059] Not tainted 5.2.13-gentoo #2

+ [49887.347105] transaction_kthread+0x139/0x15c
+
+So fix this by not overwriting the return value (ret) with the result
+from flush_write_bio(). We also need to clear the EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITEBACK
+bit in case flush_write_bio() returns an error, otherwise it will hang
+any future attempts to writeback the extent buffer, and undo all work
+done before (set back EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY, etc).
+
+This is a regression introduced in the 5.2 kernel.
