[PATCH 6.6.y 1/3] f2fs: fix to reclaim space in f2fs_allocate_pinning_section()
From: Chao Yu
Date: Fri Oct 09 2026 - 07:15:25 EST
From: Chao Yu <chao@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit fa487f56efba6344aef67d871688f0908fe08af3 ]
It needs to trigger checkpoint to free space reclaimed by f2fs_gc_range(),
otherwise, fallocate() on pinfile will fail easily even there is slash
space in conventional zone.
[Testcase]

mkfs.f2fs /dev/nullb0 -f -m
mount /dev/nullb0 /mnt/f2fs/
touch /mnt/f2fs/pinfile
f2fs_io pinfile set /mnt/f2fs/pinfile
mkdir /mnt/f2fs/dir/
for((i=0;i<3934;i++)) do { dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/dir/$i bs=1M count=1;} done
sync
for((i=0;i<3934;i+=2)) do { rm /mnt/f2fs/dir/$i;} done
for((i=0;i<1950;i++)) do { rm /mnt/f2fs/dir/$i;} done
sync
f2fs_io fallocate 0 0 $((1024*1024*1024)) /mnt/f2fs/pinfile

[ Chao Yu: backport to 6.6.y:
- retain existing f2fs_up_write(&sbi->gc_lock) as 6.6 lacks lock tracing
- assign err = f2fs_gc_range(...) to check return value as in upstream ]
