[PATCH] f2fs: collect prefree segments to avoild write checkpoint fail

From: Yunlong Song
Date: Sat Aug 26 2017 - 07:47:52 EST


In come corner case, the reserved segments are used to do gc, and there are
not enough free segments for write checkpoint to finish its job, then the
gc process will fail to change the prefree segments to free segments.
