Hi,
Thank you for the report.
I retrieved the fault image and found out that previous garbage data
wreak such the wrong behaviors.
So, I wrote the following patch that fills one zero-block at the
checkpoint procedure.
If the underlying device supports discard, I expect that it mostly
doesn't incur any performance regression significantly.
Could you test this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid to conduct roll-forward due to the remained
garbage blocks
The f2fs always scans the next chain of direct node blocks.
But some garbage blocks are able to be remained due to no discard
support or
SSR triggers.
This occasionally wreaks recovering wrong inodes that were used or
BUG_ONs
due to reallocating node ids as follows.
When mount this f2fs image:
http://linuxtesting.org/downloads/f2fs_fault_image.zip
BUG_ON is triggered in f2fs driver (messages below are generated on
kernel 3.13.2; for other kernels output is similar):
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/node.c:215!
