Re: [PATCH] f2fs: let __get_victim successfully get a segno in corner case

Hi Jay,
fggc_threshold is 507, reserved_segment is 462.

Hi, Jay,
The distribution is like this, unit is segment counts:
cnt_free: 0 (free blocks)
cnt_full: 25182 (segment which has 512 blocks)
cnt_over: 25192 (segment which valid blocks over fggc_threshold)
cnt_below: 870 (segment which valid blocks below fggc_threshold)
What are the values of fggc_threshold and ovp ratio or reserved_segments?
How was the proc/segment_info?

Thanks,

The test is fragment test, add and delete small files over and over.

In factïthis is not "suppose" case yet, we have already met this problem several times in some test suits for corner case, or I cannot notice that this could happen.
So, have you taken a look at distribution of valid blocks in that case?
I'm wondering what distribution can cause this.

Thanks,

Suppose that the valid blocks of each section are all over sbi->fggc_threshold,
How about adding a kernel message first to detect your *supposed* sceanrio?
If that happens, it'll be a sort of bug which we haven't assumed.

Thanks,

and even has_not_enough_free_secs is true, f2fs_gc cannot do its job since the
no_fggc_candidate always returns true. As a result, the reserved segments can be
used up, and finally there is no free segment at all, and get_new_segment cannot
get a free segment, filesystem will trap into a wrong status.

To fix this, we record the segno which has a rough minimum cost and return it to
__get_victim to continue f2fs_gc's job.
