How about below parallelism?
f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite() f2fs_direct_IO (read) filemap_write_and_wait_range() -> down_read(->i_mmap_sem); -> lock_page() -> f2fs_get_blocks() -> submit_bio()
-> set_page_dirty()
Can above DIO read not expose the stale data from block which was allocated in f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite path?
