From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Unless we protect flush pointer updates with a lock, we risk resetting new flush points before we've synced all sectors up to that point. This patch protects new flush points with the same spin lock that is being held when advancing the sync pointer and resetting completed flush points.
