After this patch, we use f2fs_gc_kthread.f2fs_gc_task to indicate whether GC
thread is existed, so you mean if we do that change, we also need to add a lock,
and access/update other fields in f2fs_gc_kthread after we check
f2fs_gc_kthread.f2fs_gc_task with a lock, right?
Like:
f2fs_sbi_store:
if (!strcmp(a->attr.name, "gc_urgent") && t == 1) {
gc_context_lock()
if (GC_I(sbi)->f2fs_gc_task) {
GC_I(sbi)->gc_wake = 1;
...
}
gc_context_unlock()
Do you mean that?
