Policy - Foreground GC, LFS and greedy GC mode. Under this policy, f2fs_gc() loops forever to GC as it doesn't have enough free segements to proceed and thus it keeps calling gc_more for the same victim segment. This can happen if the selected victim segment could not be GC'd due to failed blkaddr validity check i.e. is_alive() returns false for the blocks set in current validity map. Fix this by keeping track of such invalid segments and skip those segments for selection in get_victim_by_default() to avoid endless GC loop under such error scenarios. Currently, add this logic under CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS to be able to root cause the issue in debug version.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
