[PATCH] f2fs: prevent meta updates while checkpoint is in progress

From: Sahitya Tummala
Date: Thu Mar 26 2020 - 06:38:55 EST


allocate_segment_for_resize() can cause metapage updates if
it requires to change the current node/data segments for resizing.
Stop these meta updates when there is a checkpoint already
in progress to prevent inconsistent CP data.
