[PATCH v2] f2fs: skip further SIT updates for already invalidated blocks

From: Seongjae Jeong

Date: Sat Nov 07 2026 - 01:19:11 EST


When update_sit_entry_for_release() encounters a block whose bit is
already cleared in cur_valid_map, it reports the inconsistency and
corrects se->valid_blocks and del. However, it still proceeds with
the discard bitmap and checkpoint accounting updates.

This can clear the discard bit unnecessarily and incorrectly decrement
the segment and section ckpt_valid_blocks counters when the block is
not marked in ckpt_valid_map.

Continue to the next block after correcting se->valid_blocks and del,
so that an already invalidated block does not trigger further discard
bitmap or checkpoint counter updates.

V1 -> V2:
- Add Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
- Add a Fixes tag for the discard bitmap handling.

Fixes tags:
- 81ffbd224e5f introduced the segment checkpoint accounting regression
by replacing the del-based adjustment with a fixed decrement.
- a66cdd985532 introduced the discard bitmap update that still runs
when the block is already invalid.
