pnfsblock: fix writeback deadlock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We should check if the sector is already initialized before
trying to grab the page from page cache. Otherwise when two
pages of the same block are written back by two threads each
calling from writepage_locked, it can cause deadlock like bellow.
