Hi Jaegeuk,

I initially attempted to address this issue by checking whether 
seg_info_to_raw_sit() runs before add_discard_addrs(). The 
implementation can be found in the V1 patch here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/20250102101310.580277-1-guochunhai@vivo.com/

However, after discussing with Chao, I realized that perhaps a better 
way is to find all the discard blocks based only on discard_map. This 
approach is much simpler and makes add_discard_addrs() independent of 
the pre-run of seg_info_to_raw_sit().

Could you please detail your opinion?

Thanks,
