Look into this patch again, I found refresh_sit_entry is called after ->allocate_segment, so if all 512 blocks were allocated, log header should have been moved to another segment, so locate_dirty_segment in refresh_sit_entry should update dirty status of previous segment correctly, anything I'm missing?
