}

truncate_inode_pages
up_write(i_mmap_sem)

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_set_data_page_dirty function. Page is set to dirty only ONCE,
but the count is added TWICE by calling f2fs_update_dirty_page.
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.
If making sure f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite calls set_page_dirty within immap
lock area, page will already be dirtied when running into
fault_dirty_shared_page-f2fs_set_data_page_dirty.
The count of dirty page will not be increased wrong times.
