Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: prevent meta updates while checkpoint is in progress
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 16:06:59 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1585219019-24831-1-git-send-email-stummala@codeaurora.org> (raw)

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.
