Yes. There are two possible way to be in nilfs_end_page_io(): (1)
nilfs_segctor_complete_write(); (2) nilfs_abort_logs(). Currently, I
suspect the nilfs_abort_logs() because of compiler optimization. But now
I haven't evidence of it. And it needs to investigate issue more deeply
for stating something definitely, I think.
With the best regards,
