From: Daeho Jeong <daehoje...@google.com> Found a new segemnt allocation without f2fs_lock_op() in expand_inode_data(). So, when we do fallocate() for a pinned file and trigger checkpoint very frequently and simultaneously. F2FS gets stuck in the below code of do_checkpoint() forever.
f2fs_sync_meta_pages(sbi, META, LONG_MAX, FS_CP_META_IO); /* Wait for all dirty meta pages to be submitted for IO */ <= if fallocate() here, f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(sbi, F2FS_DIRTY_META); <= it'll wait forever.
