From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2eeb0dce728a7eac3e4dfe355d98af40d61f7a26 ] This tries to fix priority inversion in the below condition resulting in long checkpoint delay. f2fs_get_node_info() - nat_tree_lock -> sleep to grab journal_rwsem by contention checkpoint - waiting for nat_tree_lock In order to let checkpoint go, let's release nat_tree_lock, if there's a journal_rwsem contention.
