free segments include reserved segments, so its value should never be zero,
otherwise there should be a bug.

BTW, could you check result in 'stat -f <your_mountpoint>' rather than f2fs
status in debugfs?

I don't think this is correct, you could check message in git pull of 5.6:

Quoted:

"f2fs-for-5.6

In this series, we've implemented transparent compression experimentally. It
supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we investigate in the field
more. At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the space.
Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as
possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as relaxing IO
congestion. Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim
compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit.
"

That means we will keep reserved blocks in compressed cluster until user
release them via ioctl.

Thanks,
