[PATCH] f2fs: avoid race condition for shinker count

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Mon Nov 09 2020 - 12:00:16 EST


Light reported sometimes shinker gets nat_cnt < dirty_nat_cnt resulting in
wrong do_shinker work. Basically the two counts should not happen like that.

So, I suspect this race condtion where:
- f2fs_try_to_free_nats __flush_nat_entry_set
nat_cnt=2, dirty_nat_cnt=2
__clear_nat_cache_dirty
spin_lock(nat_list_lock)
list_move()
spin_unlock(nat_list_lock)
spin_lock(nat_list_lock)
list_del()
spin_unlock(nat_list_lock)
nat_cnt=1, dirty_nat_cnt=2
nat_cnt=1, dirty_nat_cnt=1
