  When f2fs tries to checkpoint during foreground gc in LFS mode, system
crash occurs due to lack of free space if the amount of dirty node and
dentry pages generated by data migration exceeds free space.
The reproduction sequence is as follows.

 - 20GiB capacity block device (null_blk)
 - format and mount with LFS mode
 - create a file and write 20,000MiB
 - 4k random write on full range of the file

Can we avoid calling has_curseg_enough_space() for this case?

Maybe we can add one parameter curseg_no_space for get_need_secs() to get
result of has_curseg_enough_space()?

static inline void get_need_secs(struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi,
				unsigned int *lower, unsigned int *upper,
				bool *curseg_no_space);
{
...
	*lower = node_secs + dent_secs;
	*upper = *lower + (node_blocks ? 1 : 0) + (dent_blocks ? 1 : 0);

	if (curseg_no_space)
		*curseg_no_space =
			!has_curseg_enough_space(sbi, node_blocks, dent_blocks);
}

Then we can use get_need_secs(, , NULL) in f2fs_gc(),
and use get_need_secs(, , &curseg_no_space) in has_not_enough_free_secs()?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
