Daeho Jeong db6129f6ad f2fs: fix race of pending_pages in decompression
[ Upstream commit 6422a71ef4 ]

I found out f2fs_free_dic() is invoked in a wrong timing, but
f2fs_verify_bio() still needed the dic info and it triggered the
below kernel panic. It has been caused by the race condition of
pending_pages value between decompression and verity logic, when
the same compression cluster had been split in different bios.
By split bios, f2fs_verify_bio() ended up with decreasing
pending_pages value before it is reset to nr_cpages by
f2fs_decompress_pages() and caused the kernel panic.

Chao pointed this can happen by the below race condition.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
