f2fs: fix to avoid data update racing between GC and DIO
Datas in file can be operated by GC and DIO simultaneously, so we will face race case as below: For write case: Thread A Thread B - generic_file_direct_write - invalidate_inode_pages2_range - f2fs_direct_IO - do_blockdev_direct_IO - do_direct_IO - get_more_blocks - f2fs_gc - do_garbage_collect - gc_data_segment - move_data_page - do_write_data_page migrate data block to new block address - dio_bio_submit update user data to old block address For read case: Thread A Thread B - generic_file_direct_write - invalidate_inode_pages2_range - f2fs_direct_IO - do_blockdev_direct_IO - do_direct_IO - get_more_blocks - f2fs_balance_fs - f2fs_gc - do_garbage_collect - gc_data_segment - move_data_page - do_write_data_page migrate data block to new block address - write_checkpoint - do_checkpoint - clear_prefree_segments - f2fs_issue_discard discard old block adress - dio_bio_submit update user buffer from obsolete block address In order to fix this, for one file, we should let DIO and GC getting exclusion against with each other.
