f2fs: fix a race condition in next_free_nid
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The nm_i->fcnt checking is executed before spin_lock, so if another
thread delete the last free_nid from the list, the wrong nid may be
gotten.  So fix the race condition by moving the nm_i->fnct checking
into spin_lock.
