In gc_node_segment, if node page gc is run concurrently with node page writeback, and check_valid_map and get_node_page run after page locked and before cur_valid_map is updated as below, it is possible for the page to be written twice unnecessarily.
sync_node_pages try_lock_page ... check_valid_map f2fs_write_node_page ... write_node_page do_write_page allocate_data_block ... refresh_sit_entry /* update cur_valid_map */ ... ... unlock_page get_node_page ... set_page_dirty ... f2fs_put_page unlock_page This can be solved via calling check_valid_map after get_node_page again.
