Policy - foreground GC, LFS mode and greedy GC mode. Under this policy, f2fs_gc() loops forever to GC as it doesn't have enough free segements to proceed and thus it keeps calling gc_more for the same victim segment. This can happen if the selected victim segment could not be GC'd due to failed blkaddr validity check i.e. is_alive() returns false for the blocks set in current validity map. Fix this by not resetting the sbi->cur_victim_sec to NULL_SEGNO, when the segment selected could not be GC'd. This helps to select another segment for GC and thus helps to proceed forward with GC. [Note] This can happen due to is_alive as well as atomic_file which skipps GC. Signed-off-by: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
