I think *goto recovery* is not a good way.

How's like this?
If you don't mind, I'll merge the patch with this.

static void __recover_inline_status(struct inode *inode, struct page *ipage)
{
	void *inline_data = inline_data_addr(ipage);
	__le32 *start = inline_data;
	__le32 *end = start + MAX_INLINE_DATA / sizeof(__le32);

	while (start < end) {
		if (*start++) {
			f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback(ipage, NODE);

			set_inode_flag(F2FS_I(inode), FI_DATA_EXIST);
			set_raw_inline(F2FS_I(inode), F2FS_INODE(ipage));
			set_page_dirty(ipage);
			return;
		}
	}
	return;
}

Thanks,
