dm-pcache: advance slot index before writing slot
commit ebbb903 upstream.
In dm-pcache, in order to ensure crash-consistency, a dual-copy scheme
is used to alternately update metadata, and there is a slot index that
records the current slot. However, in the write path the current
implementation writes directly to the current slot indexed by slot
index, and then advances the slot — which ends up overwriting the
existing slot, violating the crash-consistency guarantee.
This patch fixes that behavior, preventing metadata from being
overwritten incorrectly.
In addition, this patch add a missing pmem_wmb() after memcpy_flushcache().
