For foreground gc, greedy algorithm should be adapted, which makes this formula work well: (2 * (100 / config.overprovision + 1) + 6) But currently, we fg_gc have a prior to select bg_gc victim segments to gc first, these victims are selected by cost-benefit algorithm, we can't guarantee such segments have the small valid blocks, which may destroy the f2fs rule, on the worstest case, would consume all the free segments. This patch fix this by add a filter in check_bg_victims, if segment's has # of valid blocks over overprovision ratio, skip such segments.
