f2fs: fix to avoid pinfile fragment on fragment:{block, segment} mode

2026-09-14T11:40:54+00:00

Thread A holds the lock but waits for writeback, while kworker waits for the lock. This causes a deadlock. Other threads also enter D state, waiting for locks such as gc_lock and writepages. OPU/IPU DATA folio are all affected by this issue. To avoid such potential deadlocks, always commit these cached folios before triggering f2fs_gc() in f2fs_balance_fs().

f2fs: support to report fserror

This patch supports to report fserror, it provides another way to let userspace to monitor filesystem level error. In addition, it exports /sys/fs/f2fs/features/fserror once f2fs kernel module start to support the new feature, then generic/791 of fstests can notice the feature, and verify validation of fserror report.
