We can see inode page:

- f2fs_create
 - f2fs_add_link
  - f2fs_add_dentry
   - f2fs_init_inode_metadata
    - f2fs_add_inline_entry
     - ipage = f2fs_new_inode_page
     - f2fs_put_page(ipage)   <---- after this

The version of summary and dni are all zero.

summary nid: 613, ofs: 111, ver: 0
blkaddr 2436 (blkaddr in node 0)
expect: seg 10, ofs_in_seg: 54
real: seg 4294967295, ofs_in_seg: 0
ofs: 54, 0
node info ino:613, nid:613, nofs:0
ofs_in_addr: 0

Thanks,
