f2fs: fix to avoid race in between atomic write and background GC
Sqlite user Background GC - move_data_block : move page #1 - f2fs_is_atomic_file - f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write - f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write - commit_inmem_pages : commit page #1 & set node #2 dirty - f2fs_submit_page_write - f2fs_update_data_blkaddr - set_page_dirty : set node #2 dirty - f2fs_do_sync_file - fsync_node_pages : commit node #1 & node #2, then sudden power-cut In a race case, we may check FI_ATOMIC_FILE flag before starting atomic write flow, then we will commit meta data before data with reversed order, after a sudden pow-cut, database transaction will be inconsistent. So we'd better to exclude gc/atomic_write to each other by using lock instead of flag checking. Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
