From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 19 2018 - 15:42:29 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit c13ff37e359bb3eacf4e1760dcea8d9760aa7459 ]

- has_not_enough_free_secs
node_secs: 0 dent_secs: 0 freed:0 free_segments:103 reserved:104

- f2fs_gc
- get_victim_by_default
alloc_mode 0, gc_mode 1, max_search 2672, offset 4654, ofs_unit 1

- do_garbage_collect
start_segno 3976, end_segno 3977 type 0

- is_alive
nid 22797, blkaddr 2131882, ofs_in_node 0, version 0x8/0x0

- gc_data_segment 766, segno 3976, block 512/426 not alive

So, this patch fixes subtle corrupted case where node version does not match
to summary version which results in infinite loop by gc.
