[PATCH 2/3] f2fs: fix deadlock to grab 0'th data page

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Thu Nov 13 2014 - 19:59:48 EST


The scenario is like this.

One trhead triggers:
f2fs_write_data_pages
lock_page
f2fs_write_data_page
f2fs_lock_op <- wait

The other thread triggers:
f2fs_truncate
truncate_blocks
f2fs_lock_op
truncate_partial_data_page
lock_page <- wait for locking the page

This patch resolves this bug by relocating truncate_partial_data_page.
This function is just to truncate user data page and not related to FS
consistency as well.
And, we don't need to call truncate_inline_data. Rather than that,
f2fs_write_data_page will finally update inline_data later.
