[PATCH] f2fs: avoid setting SBI_NEED_FSCK on transient resize failure with -EAGAIN
From: Daeho Jeong
Date: Tue Aug 18 2026 - 13:05:46 EST
From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@xxxxxxxxxx>
When f2fs_resize_fs() fails due to transient lock contention or retryable
GC failure in free_segment_range() returning -EAGAIN, no filesystem
metadata has been modified on-disk yet. The filesystem remains completely
consistent and clean.
However, the current error recovery path unconditionally sets the
SBI_NEED_FSCK flag on any error, forcing an unnecessary and time-consuming
fsck.f2fs repair on the subsequent mount/reboot.
Fix this by guarding set_sbi_flag(sbi, SBI_NEED_FSCK) with
`if (err != -EAGAIN)`, avoiding false-positive filesystem corruption
flags on transient resize retries.
