Summary:
## 1. Bug description:
When RocksDB Checkpoint, it may be stuck in `WaitUntilFlushWouldNotStallWrites` method.
## 2. Simple analysis of the reasons:
### 2.1 Configuration parameters:
```yaml
Compaction Style : Universal
max_write_buffer_number : 4
min_write_buffer_number_to_merge : 3
```
Checkpoint is usually very fast. When the Checkpoint is executed, `WaitUntilFlushWouldNotStallWrites` is called. If there are 2 Immutable MemTables, which are less than `min_write_buffer_number_to_merge`, they will not be flushed. But will enter this code.
```c++
// method: GetWriteStallConditionAndCause
if (mutable_cf_options.max_write_buffer_number> 3 &&
num_unflushed_memtables >=
mutable_cf_options.max_write_buffer_number-1) {
return {WriteStallCondition::kDelayed, WriteStallCause::kMemtableLimit};
}
```

Checkpoint thought there was a FlushJob, but it didn't. So will always wait.
### 2.2 solution:
Increase the restriction: the `number of Immutable MemTable` >= `min_write_buffer_number_to_merge will wait`.
If there are other better solutions, you can correct me.
### 2.3 Code that can reproduce the problem:

## 3. Interesting point
This bug will be triggered only when `the number of sorted runs >= level0_file_num_compaction_trigger`.
Because there is a break in WaitUntilFlushWouldNotStallWrites.
```c++
if (cfd->imm()->NumNotFlushed() <
cfd->ioptions()->min_write_buffer_number_to_merge &&
vstorage->l0_delay_trigger_count() <
mutable_cf_options.level0_file_num_compaction_trigger) {
break;
}
```
code link: fbed72f03c/db/db_impl/db_impl_compaction_flush.cc (L1974)
Universal may have `l0_delay_trigger_count() >= level0_file_num_compaction_trigger`, so this bug is triggered.

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 especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
