If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bb7a1111a104b07af3090e5f8851feeda34b8813 Author: Yonggil Song <yonggil.song@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 22 18:03:20 2022 +0900 f2fs: avoid victim selection from previous victim section [ Upstream commit e219aecfd4b766c4e878a3769057e9809f7fcadc ] When f2fs chooses GC victim in large section & LFS mode, next_victim_seg[gc_type] is referenced first. After segment is freed, next_victim_seg[gc_type] has the next segment number. However, next_victim_seg[gc_type] still has the last segment number even after the last segment of section is freed. In this case, when f2fs chooses a victim for the next GC round, the last segment of previous victim section is chosen as a victim. Initialize next_victim_seg[gc_type] to NULL_SEGNO for the last segment in large section.
