f2fs: avoid data race when deciding checkpoin in f2fs_sync_file
When fs utilization is almost full, f2fs_sync_file should do checkpoint if there is not enough space for roll-forward later. (i.e. space_for_roll_forward) So, currently we have no lock for sbi->alloc_valid_block_count, resulting in race condition. In rare case, we can get -ENOSPC when doing roll-forward which triggers if (is_valid_blkaddr(sbi, dest, META_POR)) { if (src == NULL_ADDR) { err = reserve_new_block(&dn); f2fs_bug_on(sbi, err); ... } ... } in do_recover_data. So, this patch avoids that situation in advance. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
