[v1] f2fs: avoid victim selection from previous victim section

[RESEND][PATCH] f2fs: avoid victim selection from previous victim section

Posted by Yonggil Song 3 years, 4 months ago

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.
