Hi Chao,

I'm pretty sure you can reproduce this issue quite easily.

I can see this happening on multiple devices including my workstation,
laptop and my Android phone.

Here's a simple reproduction step:
1. Do `rm -rf * && git reset --hard` a few times under a Linux kernel Git
2. Do a sync
3. echo 1 > /sys/fs/f2fs/dev/gc_urgent_sleep_time
4. echo 1 > /sys/fs/f2fs/dev/gc_urgent
5. Once the number on "GC calls" doesn't change, look at "Dirty" under
/sys/kernel/debug/f2fs/status. It's close to 0.
6. After doing a 'sync', "Dirty" increases a lot.
7. Remember the number on "GC calls" and run 3 and 4 again.
8. The number of "GC calls" increases by a few hundreds.

Thanks.
