Subject: Re: [PATCH] f2fs: provide f2fs_balance_fs to __write_data_page for
dentry pages
Since __write_data_page will not do f2fs_balance_fs for dir inode, so
there is no lock.
- f2fs_balance_fs
- __write_data_page (dir inode)
- f2fs_balance_fs again? <- Can not happen!
And if let sync_dirty_inodes flush dentry page of inodeB, then inodeB
will sikp the
f2fs_balance_fs check due to the same reason above (it is dir inode).
Besides, does any lock will lock the kernel writeback process? If not,
when normal
writeback of inodeB just happens before sync_dirty_inodes fetch it from
the dirty_list,
the normal writeback of indoeB will skip the f2fs_balance_fs check.
f2fs_trim(,sync)_fs normal dentry page writeback of inodeB
-- write_checkpoint --f2fs_write_data_pages
--block_operations --f2fs_write_cache_pages
--SBI_BLOCK_OPS is set --__write_data_page
--sync_dirty_inodes --test SBI_BLOCK_OPS is set and skip f2fs_balance_fs
--retry: write to reserved segments
inodeA <- list_first_entry(dirty_list)
filemap_fdatawrite(inodeA)
go to retry
--SBI_BLOCK_OPS is clear
