Will this race condition affact f2fs private field update?

Thanks,


When race happens between mmap-do_page_fault-wp_page_shared and
fallocate-truncate_pagecache-zap_pte_range, the zap_pte_range calls
function set_page_dirty without page lock. Besides, though
truncate_pagecache has immap and pte lock, wp_page_shared calls
fault_dirty_shared_page without any. In this case, two threads race
in f2fs_dirty_data_folio function. Page is set to dirty only ONCE,
but the count is added TWICE by calling filemap_dirty_folio.
Thus the count of dirty page cannot accord with the real dirty pages.

Following is the solution to in case of race happens without any lock.
Since folio_test_set_dirty in filemap_dirty_folio is atomic, judge return
value will not be at risk of race.
