f2fs: atomic: fix to avoid racing w/ GC
Case #1: SQLite App GC Thread Kworker Shrinker - f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write - f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write - f2fs_commit_atomic_write - filemap_write_and_wait_range : write atomic_file's data to cow_inode echo 3 > drop_caches to drop atomic_file's cache. - f2fs_gc - gc_data_segment - move_data_page - set_page_dirty - writepages - f2fs_do_write_data_page : overwrite atomic_file's data to cow_inode - f2fs_down_write(&fi->i_gc_rwsem[WRITE]) - __f2fs_commit_atomic_write - f2fs_up_write(&fi->i_gc_rwsem[WRITE]) Case #2: SQLite App GC Thread Kworker - f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write - __writeback_single_inode - do_writepages - f2fs_write_cache_pages - f2fs_write_single_data_page - f2fs_do_write_data_page : write atomic_file's data to cow_inode - f2fs_gc - gc_data_segment - move_data_page - set_page_dirty - writepages - f2fs_do_write_data_page : overwrite atomic_file's data to cow_inode - f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write In above cases racing in between atomic_write and GC, previous data in atomic_file may be overwrited to cow_file, result in data corruption. This patch introduces PAGE_PRIVATE_ATOMIC_WRITE bit flag in page.private, and use it to indicate that there is last dirty data in atomic file, and the data should be writebacked into cow_file, if the flag is not tagged in page, we should never write data across files.
