How does the locking work in general for this target. So far I have not
seen any locks being taken anywhere. I want to know what's the thought
process and what locks are where and what are they protecting.
For example, here, we create a bitmap of unused pbn first and then
go on to remove those pbn. How do we know that some unused pbn
did not get reused again by the time we called cleanup_hash_pbn.
I see that last patch in the series removed mark_and_sweep logic
and replaced with garbage_collect. Please rework the series so that
mark_and_sweep is not introduced to begin with.
Thanks
