I came across a hungtask problem as below: INFO: task 962 blocked for more than 120 s.

The comments said we should do GC or end up with checkpoint, if there are so many dirty dir/node pages without enough free segments. But should all theads wait for gc if the condition is not satisfied? Maybe if someone is gcing, they can by pass it.
