This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled f2fs: fix gc mode when gc_urgent_high_remaining is 1 to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: f2fs-fix-gc-mode-when-gc_urgent_high_remaining-is-1.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d7b88814f3d4c7dac59769a5319d01be4c748cae Author: Yangtao Li <frank.li@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 25 14:50:24 2022 +0800 f2fs: fix gc mode when gc_urgent_high_remaining is 1 [ Upstream commit 6359a1aaca527311b7145ec6eb16890a5ddf5214 ] Under the current logic, when gc_urgent_high_remaining is set to 1, the mode will be switched to normal at the beginning, instead of running in gc_urgent mode. Let's switch the gc mode back to normal when the gc ends.
