I think the problem here is:

Thread A				Background GC Thread
- writepage
 - f2fs_outplace_write_data
 fio->encrypted_page is in-flight
					- gc_data_segment
					 - ra_data_block
					  - f2fs_pagecache_get_page
					  - f2fs_submit_page_bio
					  cache garbage data in meta page
Device
Receive encrypted data
- f2fs_write_end_io
					 - move_data_block
					  - f2fs_pagecache_get_page
					  - if (PageUptodate(mpage)) memcpy()
					  So here we copy garbage data into meta page
					  - f2fs_submit_page_write
					  Here we migrate incorrect data to new address

> So, does ra_data_block need to check PageUptodate?

Yes, I think so, could improve this in another patch.

Thanks,
