Subject: [PATCH 1/2] f2fs: reorganize f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite

From: Namjae Jeon <[email protected]>

Few things can be changed in the default mkwrite function
1) Make file_update_time at the start before acquiring any lock
2) the condition page_offset(page) >= i_size_read(inode) should be
changed to page_offset(page) > i_size_read
3) Move wait_on_page_writeback.

Should we update time even if error is occurred below?

Why? IMO, there was no problem.

Should we update time even if error is occurred below?
Even though the original time change position regarding
file_update_time is correct with respect to the failure conditions,
but we referred the code in other file systems.
We found that file_update_time in page fault is not critical part, so
first thing is to move this out of the locking.
We can see the following comment in block_page_mkwrite.
/*
* Update file times before taking page lock. We may end up failing the
* fault so this update may be superfluous but who really cares...
*/

Most filesystems use it regardless of below condition. Ext4 also does
this at the beginning of mkwrite-> just after
sb_start_pagefault(inode->i_sb);

There is no problem and we could not find a test case either, but
looking at the code we thought it could be an alignment issue if due
to index, the page_offset() and i_size_read() ? may cause some
boundary condition.
The above changes were introduced without citing any issues, but just
to align the code.
So we can ignore this changed line :)

Thanks~
