[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 064/330] f2fs: stop GC when the victim becomes fully valid

From: Sasha Levin

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 803e74be04b32f7785742dcabfc62116718fbb06 ]

We must stop GC, once the segment becomes fully valid. Otherwise, it can
produce another dirty segments by moving valid blocks in the segment partially.

Ramon hit no free segment panic sometimes and saw this case happens when
validating reliable file pinning feature.
