So I guess the race should be:
GC thread: IRQ
- move_data_page()
- set_page_dirty()
- clear_cold_data()
- f2fs_write_end_io()
- type = WB_DATA_TYPE(page);
here, we get wrong type
- dec_page_count(sbi, type);
- f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback()
How about relocate wait_writeback & set_page_dirty to avoid above race:
move_data_page()
retry:
f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback(page, DATA, true);
set_page_dirty(page);
