The fill_zero() from fallocate() calls get_new_data_page() in which calls reserve_new_block(). The reserve_new_block() should be covered by *DATA_NEW*, one of global locks. And also, before getting the lock, we should check free sections by calling f2fs_balance_fs(). If we break this rule, f2fs is able to face with out-of-control free space management and fall into infinite loop like the following scenario as well. [f2fs_sync_fs()] [fallocate()] - write_checkpoint() - fill_zero() - block_operations() - get_new_data_page() : grab NODE_NEW - get_dnode_of_data() : get locked dirty node page - sync_node_pages() : try to grab NODE_NEW for data allocation : trylock and skip the dirty node page : call sync_node_pages() repeatedly in order to flush all the dirty node pages! In order to avoid this, we should grab another global lock such as DATA_NEW before calling get_new_data_page() in fill_zero(). Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
