When I initially tested fault injection, I could hit that before.
But, now I can't hit this again. :(
It seems it was gone while I updated the error flow before.
Agreed with you, and let me take your change.

BTW, I even suspect whether this leaking condition happens or not.
If f2fs_evict_inode deals with inode deletion, that inode should be an orphan
one. So, we don't need to consider that condition actually.

So, I wrote this patch as well.
I started stress tests again. :)

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: don't worry about inode leak in evict_inode

Even if an inode failed to release its blocks, it should be kept in an orphan
inode list, so it will be released later.
