As Gao Xiang reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202749
f2fs may skip pageout() due to incorrect page reference count.
The problem here is that MM defined the rule [1] very clearly that
once page was set with PG_private flag, we should increment the
refcount in that page, also main flows like pageout(), migrate_page()
will assume there is one additional page reference count if
page_has_private() returns true.
But currently, f2fs won't add/del refcount when changing PG_private
flag. Anyway, f2fs should follow MM's rule to make MM's related flows
running as expected.
