[PATCH] f2fs: fix writing incorrect orphan blocks

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Mon Oct 07 2013 - 21:28:37 EST


Previously, there was a erroneous scenario like below.
thread 1: thread 2:
f2fs_unlink
- acquire_orphan_inode
: sbi->n_orphans++ write_checkpoint
- block_operations
: f2fs_lock_all
- do_checkpoint
: write orphan blocks with sbi->n_orphans
- unblock_operations
- f2fs_lock_op
- release_orphan_inode
- f2fs_unlock_op

During the checkpoint by thread 2, f2fs stores a wrong orphan block according
to the wrong sbi->n_orphans.
To avoid this, simply we should make cover acquire_orphan_inode too with
f2fs_lock_op.
