Subject[PATCH 1/2] f2fs: avoid race in between atomic_read & atomic_inc
Date
Previously, we will miss merging flush command during fsync due to below
race condition:

Thread A Thread B Thread C
- f2fs_issue_flush
- atomic_read(&issing_flush)
- f2fs_issue_flush
- atomic_read(&issing_flush)
- f2fs_issue_flush
- atomic_read(&issing_flush)
- atomic_inc(&issing_flush)
- atomic_inc(&issing_flush)
- atomic_inc(&issing_flush)
- submit_flush_wait
- submit_flush_wait
- submit_flush_wait

It needs to use atomic_inc_return instead to avoid such race.
