Subject: [RFC] f2fs: fix a race condition between evict & gc
Date: Mon, 16 May 2016 10:40:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1463395221-109622-1-git-send-email-houpengyang@huawei.com> (raw)

When collecting data segment(gc_data_segment), there is a race condition
between evict and phases of gc:
0) ra_node_page(dnode)
1) ra_node_page(inode)
		<--- evict the inode
2) f2fs_iget get the inode and add it to gc_list 
3) move_data_page

In step 2), f2fs_iget does NOT find the inode and allocs a new inode as result,
which is not resonable.

This patch changes f2fs_iget to ilookup. when no inode is found, no new inode is
created.
