Hi Weichao,

A critical case is using the free segments as data segments which

of the newer CP pack, fsck can find errors when checking the sanity of nid.
Sorry to interrupt because I'm just curious about this scenario and the detail.

As far as I know, if the whole blocks in a segment become invalid,
the segment will become PREFREE, and then if a checkpoint is followed, we can reuse this segment or
discard the whole segment safely after this checkpoint was done
(I think It makes sure that this segment is certainly FREE and not reused in this checkpoint).

If the segment in the old checkpoint is a node segment, and node blocks in the segment are all invalid until the new checkpoint. It seems no danger to reuse the FREE node segment as a data segment in the next checkpoint?

or something related to SPOR? In my mind f2fs-tools ignores POR node chain...

Thanks,

Currently, we set prefree segments as free ones after writing
a checkpoint, then believe the segments could be used safely.
However, if a sudden power-off coming and the newer checkpoint
corrupted due to hardware issues at the same time, we will try
to use the old checkpoint and may face an inconsistent file
system status.

How about add an PRE2 status for prefree segments, and make
sure the segments could be used safely to both checkpoints?
Or any better solutions? Or this is not a problem?

Look forward to your comments!
