[PATCH v5] f2fs: use post-decrement count for cp_wait wakeup

From: Wenjie Qi

Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 09:57:17 EST


f2fs_write_end_io() decrements the writeback page counter and then
reads it again with get_pages() to decide whether the last
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA completion should wake cp_wait.

Use atomic_dec_return() for F2FS_WB_CP_DATA completions so the wakeup
decision is made from the value produced by the decrement itself. Keep
the existing dec_page_count() path for other writeback counters.

Fixes: e234088758fc ("f2fs: avoid wait if IO end up when do_checkpoint for better performance")
Fixes: ce2739e482bc ("f2fs: fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()")
