The atomic commit will trigger:
-f2fs_do_sync_file(filp, 0, LLONG_MAX, 0, true)
-file_write_and_wait_range(file, 0, LLONG_MAX)
-fsync_node_pages
-__write_node_page
-REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA
So data is flushed to non-volatile before last node write with
REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA,
we do not need to worry about the inconsistent problem. Right?

Is there any problem if just deleting the judgement condition in this patch?
IIRC, dirty node comes from data segment GC can be writebacked & flushed during
atomic commit, but related data will still be in inner bio cache, after later
SPOR, data would be inconsistent.

If some files are opened with atomic flag and have not commited yet, at

of these atomic files, then f2fs gc will fail to do gc and hangs in the

and get_valid_blocks will never be 0, then do_garbage_collect will
always return 0.
Oh, I added this judgment condition to avoid ruining atomic write by data
GC, could we find another way to solve this issue? BTW, if there is direct
IO, we will also skip data segment GC.
Thanks,
