This patch change the method of calculating the number of summary blocks in function npages_for_summary_flush. npages_for_summary_flush uses (SUMMARY_SIZE + 1) as the size of a f2fs_summary while the actual size is just SUMMARY_SIZE. As a result, occasionally the return value of npages_for_summary_flush will be bigger than the actual number by one, and the checkpoint won't be written contiguously into disk. Besides, struct f2fs_summary can't be split to two pages, so it could take more space than the sum of its size, the current version seems not to take it into account.
