[f2fs-dev] [PATCH -next] f2fs: fix race condition on setting FI_NO_EXTENT flag

[Zhang Qilong via Linux-f2fs-devel <linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>]

The following scenarios exist.
process A:               process B:
->f2fs_drop_extent_tree  ->f2fs_update_extent_cache_range
                          ->f2fs_update_extent_tree_range
                           ->write_lock
 ->set_inode_flag
                           ->is_inode_flag_set
                           ->__free_extent_tree // Shouldn't
                                                // have been
                                                // cleaned up
                                                // here
  ->write_lock

In this case, the "FI_NO_EXTENT" flag is set between
f2fs_update_extent_tree_range and is_inode_flag_set
by other process. it leads to clearing the whole exten
tree which should not have happened. And we fix it by
move the setting it to the range of write_lock.
