[PATCH v3 0/2] fix potential race between ubifs_tnc_locate() and GC

[Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The patchset tries to fix the problem reported by 李傲傲 [1]. It happens
because there are races between ubifs_tnc_locate() and GC when
ubifs_tnc_locate() finds the target LEB is used as write-buffers or buds.
And the patchset fixes it by only reading the node from write-buffer
when the node is fully contained in write-buffer.

Comments are welcome.

Regards,
Tao

  ubifs: factor out helper ubifs_check_node_buf()
  ubifs: read node from wbuf when it fully sits in wbuf
