Hi Chao,
Yes, and I can confirm that infinite loop cases I suffered are caused by the
bug I
mentioned in the first patch of this patch set. But I'm not sure if there are
other cases that can cause this infinite loop.

And do you think we need this?
"add f2fs_bug_on() when there occurs zero-sized extent in
f2fs_update_read_extent_cache_range(),
and give up this zero-sized extent update to handle other unknown buggy cases".
