Hi, Kim. in this patch, I think there is NO chance to retry for -ENOMEM.

This is because if exist_written_data returns false, we can confirm that
this inode has been released from orphan radix-tree:
f2fs_evict_inode
 ---> remove_inode_page
    ---> truncate_node
        ---> remove_orphan_inode
On this condition, err is 0, So it won't enter:
if (err && err != -ENOENT)
{
    ...
}
sequentially, there is no chance to truncate node blocks again.
I miss something else?

How about this patch?
