Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: collect prefree segments to avoild write checkpoint fail

From: Yunlong Song
Date: Mon Oct 30 2017 - 22:07:59 EST


So I use CHECK_FS config to control it. When CHECK_FS is off, all the other f2fs_bug_on also
only printk WARNING info rather than trigger BUG_ON.

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.
I agreed to use this in production for robustness, but for upstream, it's better
to investigate and fix this issue rather than covering up it.

Thanks,
