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

Hi, Jay,

Sorry for the mistake in last mail, the ovp is 462, and the reserved is 235.
I check the code and have not found problems with p.max_search yet.

Just forget the this patch, since there is still 870 segments below, so it should
not be the assumed case of this patch.

By the way, I have sent another patch to provide f2fs_balance_fs to __write_node_page,
similar as that in __write_data_page, to avoid missing f2fs_balance_fs in node page writeback.
Please check that.

Suppose that the valid blocks of each section are all over sbi->fggc_threshold,
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.

It seems you want to give a victim segment which has valid blocks larger than
fggc_threshold.

fggc: 507
reserve: 462
cnt_full: 25182
over: 25912 (>= fggc)
less: 870 (< fggc)

What is ovp segments?
It looks like there are 870 candidates for FG_GC, and GC with 103 segments must
give 104 free segments in the worst case. Is there a problem on p.max_search?

Thanks,
