I have tried doing shrink_dcache_sb() earlier but that doesn't call
f2fs_shrink_extent_tree(). So I have moved f2fs_join_shrinker() earlier and
tried calling f2fs_leave_shrinker() in the error path. That helps to clean up
the cached extent nodes. However, I see that extent tree is left intact for
those recovered files, which should not be a problem as it gets freed as part
of next umount/rm. Only one small problem I see with this is - during rm/umount when
those previoulsy recovered files are being evicted, extent tree memory gets
free'd but the counter sbi->total_ext_tree gets invalid as these recovered
files are not present as part of current sbi->extent_tree_root. So i have come
up with this patch below to fix this. Let me know if this looks good?
