Summary: Basically at the moment it seems it's possible to cause write stall by calling flush (either manually vis DB::Flush(), or from Backup Engine directly calling FlushMemTable() while background flush may be already happening. One of the ways to fix it is that in DBImpl::CompactRange() we already check for possible stall and delay flush if needed before we actually proceed to call FlushMemTable(). We can simply move this delay logic to separate method and call it from FlushMemTable. This is draft patch, for first look; need to check tests/update SyncPoints and most certainly would need to add allow_write_stall method to FlushOptions().

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
