[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: Add error handling for negative returns from do_garbage_collect

From: Yongpeng Yang
Date: Thu Dec 21 2023 - 22:30:09 EST


The function do_garbage_collect can return a value less than 0 due
to f2fs_cp_error being true or page allocation failure, as a result
of calling f2fs_get_sum_page. However, f2fs_gc does not account for
such cases, which could potentially lead to an abnormal total_freed
and thus cause subsequent code to behave unexpectedly. Given that
an f2fs_cp_error is irrecoverable, and considering that
do_garbage_collect already retries page allocation errors through
its call to f2fs_get_sum_page->f2fs_get_meta_page_retry, any error
reported by do_garbage_collect should immediately terminate the
current GC.
