[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: fix the inconsistent state of data pages

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Tue May 14 2013 - 20:01:40 EST


In get_lock_data_page, if there is a data race between get_dnode_of_data for
node and grab_cache_page for data, f2fs is able to face with the following
BUG_ON(dn.data_blkaddr == NEW_ADDR).

kernel BUG at /home/zeus/f2fs_test/src/fs/f2fs/data.c:251!
[<ffffffffa044966c>] get_lock_data_page+0x1ec/0x210 [f2fs]
Call Trace:
[<ffffffffa043b089>] f2fs_readdir+0x89/0x210 [f2fs]
[<ffffffff811a0920>] ? fillonedir+0x100/0x100
[<ffffffff811a0920>] ? fillonedir+0x100/0x100
[<ffffffff811a07f8>] vfs_readdir+0xb8/0xe0
[<ffffffff811a0b4f>] sys_getdents+0x8f/0x110
[<ffffffff816d7999>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This bug is able to be occurred when the block address of the data block is
changed after f2fs_put_dnode().
In order to avoid that, this patch fixes the lock order of node and data
blocks in which the node block lock is covered by the data block lock.
