[PATCH 3/7] f2fs: reorder nat cache lock in cache_nat_entry

From: Chao Yu
Date: Sun Feb 14 2016 - 05:54:18 EST


In cache_nat_entry, if we fail to hit nat cache, we try to load nat
entries from journal of current segment cache or NAT pages for updating,
during the whole updating process, write lock of nat_tree_lock will be
held to avoid inconsistent condition.

But this way may cause low efficient when updating nat cache, because it
serializes accessing in journal cache or reading NAT pages.

Here, we reorder lock and update flow like below:

- get_node_info
- down_read(nat_tree_lock)
- lookup nat cache --- hit -> unlock & return
- lookup journal cache --- hit -> unlock & goto update
- up_read(nat_tree_lock)
update:
- down_write(nat_tree_lock)
- cache_nat_entry
- lookup nat cache --- nohit -> update
- up_write(nat_tree_lock)
